How about you give us their IP, we track them down, and have some fun?
In an effort to cut down on the number of threads created just to spam a site or other product, I have created a user group that new registrations will stay in until thirty days have passed and they have made twenty-five posts. This is explained in the welcome message new users get.
I set it up in the forum software so that anyone in the New Users group that meets both criteria will be automatically upgraded, but if that doesn't work, I can check through the list of names once a week and see who qualifies for the promotion.
I considered charging some token dollar amount per registration, maybe even offering a refund once the user reaches a certain milestone, but I decided that free Internet is the best Internet.
This solution should cut down on the most annoying spam without putting any further burden on the moderators. I am still testing this out, and I haven't talked about it with cka yet, so there might be some flaws in this plan, but we'll take it as it comes.

Excellent change, Nick. Thank you!

I don't think I understand correctly... Are they unable to start threads if they're part of this group? If so, YAY!!! And thanks.
They won't be able to start threads for at least thirty days. They also must have twenty-five posts.

thanks Nick. It was a necessary change.
