I'll do what I can to figure out what mods I can install to better address this, but this installation is pretty persnickety when it comes to handling new installations of modules (based on the fact that I have to manually install the spoiler tag whenever a software update blows it away), and my time's tight right now.
Any SMF experts wanna point me at the right modules to install to combat this stuff?

I'm not an SMF expert by any means, but I do have some time these days, so I'm willing to look into it for you, if you'd like.

Thats up to page 490. I'll try to do a few pages. It is entertaining, to say the least.

Can't say I'd bothered looking before. I might check the profile of someone I'm replying to, but not otherwise.
By checking the websites aren't we possibly funding them with our hits?
Just a thought.

Any help along the lines of "consider these steps to lock down against spammers:" is good. I suck at research. I do fine once I have a list of tasks to implement.

Under registration> settings, require member activation and set highest word verification, if you haven't already. That might cut back a little bit.
My board is so easy... I just lock out registration at all ;) Guess that's not an option here.
I'll poke around the SMF forums tonight and see what I can find.
