Iam the owner of the more movement nagualism related forum in spanish, and the owner of the spanish yahoo groups with more members.
My Job is Dba ( data base admin ) and programmer. When i see the need of a forum, i make a little investigation and decide using Invision Board, the software we are using, principally for the seciurity adventajes versus phpbb, or others.
In my main forum, in this same server, i use a more new version of this software and receive daily 200 - 300 spambots who try to sign Up. In that forum we are 7 moderators over 450 real members, and is HUGE the time we need use for put a halt to that.
By the way, i am a moderator here with Ensonar, and all we know he is doing a well done job; i never see here a spam message.
For other part, my main duties are in other place and have some months ago a personal trouble who took me more than 5 months to resolve, and ensonar do a one person GREAT job.
Anyway, we are open to suggestionsm, but please check first in google the terms spam bots. Is a really PITA for the admin.
We are doing the possible things for the members interested in participate, but, at least in spanish forums, the maniatic people harrasing others writing as guest, is a true problem. We stop that.
