Just keep banning the IPs, usernames, and e-mails if they keep returning to your forum, that is the only way to stop spammers. "wowposter" is a known spammer, so just keep banning and eventually the spammers always move on. |

"wowposter" is a known spammer, so just keep banning and eventually the spammers always move on. I'm just concerned that, seeing as they're very different IPs and potentially two different people, I might have a problem with this for a while. But thanks anyway. X] |

Spammers like boards that they can get easy access to, so once you ban them enough times, they will go away. In the meantime, you could always temporarily change your settings so that you have to approve accounts (limited registration to "yes") and make guests login to have posting access (either done by forcing guests to login to see the board at all, or on each individual board setting the permissions to only let members post). |

Many of us have been getting these annoying posts.
Checking the IPs on mine, most, if not all the posts were sourced from China.
You can weigh up possible loss of members against a wide IP range ban.

Thanks for the advice. XD make guests login to have posting access (either done by forcing guests to login to see the board at all, or on each individual board setting the permissions to only let members post). I have that already (individual board settings), but I'll apply it to the whole forum. You can weigh up possible loss of members against a wide IP range ban. I'll keep that in mind but I'd rather not have to ban any IPs unnecessarily. |

I wouldn't suggest this, as it really doesn't do much but give potentially great members problems. It's too easy to get a new IP, so just ban the actual one until the person gets bored. If you already have each individual board set to members only posting, that will do, you don't have to do the entire board, because it's kind of redundant. |
