I reckon the Admin activation is the only way to go at the moment! Some of the IPs and e mails I have non active are really bizarre ones!

That is usually a clue but then I've seen regular users with some strange ones. LOL

Install this to help you out: http://custom.simplemachines.org/mods/index.php?mod=1516

It should slow them down to a dull roar. LOL

You're welcome. It seems to work well for a lot of people. It works best against bots but real people can get past it. Most of the spamming etc. are from bots.

That is possible. Haven't seen any lately since RR installed that mod...I hope she did. LOL

It seemed to stop them dead at my site but I wasn't getting many anyways. I've asked other sites to install it and see how it goes. I'll keep you updated. TPM was getting hit hard but it seems to have calmed down quite a bit there.
