Couldn't help but notice the majority of posts in the last few days have been porn site scammers. We had the same problem on another club site that uses this format and the only thing that seems to stop them is to BAN certain IP addresses.. That stops them in their tracks...I am trying to get a list of banned IP addys to be proactive...Will pass them on if I can get the list...

I've deleted all those fake members.
They all have different IP addresses, spread out over many IP ranges, so there's no easy way to block them that way.
I have blocked a lot of the email domains that are commonly used by them.
