Visit regularly, look at the new registrations, weed out the crap. Remove spam posts a.s.a.p. and ban the user's account.

you might find this helpful. Like I said I have a lot more experience with vBulletin, but we still do run a couple of PHP BB forums. I can't stand them myself, extremely primitive software by comparison, but it is what it is.

I wonder how getting rid of the word register and renameing the scripts would par against them.

crossing up the spambots is actually the relatively easy part. But there's still a fair number of human spammers in China and India especially.

Hi Cider.
I've not been around for a while, but we are about to launch a forum for work. We are banning all urls for the time being, and will probably only allow urls in future once the article has been moderated.
You might like to limit your workload by only allowing urls to be posted after moderation, but other posts to be let through.
That way the first spam you get from a (spam) user and you can ban the user and delete evrything they have written in one go.
Regards,
Steve
