Well Andrew, that would be welcome conversation that I'm sure many of us here would even be glad to help out with. Let me throw some suggestions in with Houston & MisterTuneChat.

1. Captcha's. As long as they work, these would be a great item to have, wouldn't recommend it for every e-mail but maybe have them appear randomly would work wonders. Harder for the bots to be something that keeps adjusting.

2. Anton's Program: Scam Net. Let it filter for the common algorythms that the see more spammers use, then the spam comes to you guys and you can deal with the spammers and not annoy members with it.

3. Anton's Access Manager. That little toy does wonders for helping to rid a site of spammers. Get caught spamming, your IP gets shut down. This doesn't stop them dead, but at least it forces them to go get a new IP before they can come back.

4. Deny proxy IP's at the server level if possible. I'm not a server guy, but it sounds like a great little item if you can do it.

5. Make cookies IP sensitive for those who do come in on Proxy IP's that when the IP changes it drops the cookie and they go back to start.

6. Topher's old word filtering program. Still works awesome on 6.1.6 as long as your not running Ray. Need a copy? It's in the Boonex Marketing e-mail account for you guys. I got it for free so you guys can have it for free. Just set it up and let it replace all the spam words with gobbledygook... Say love becomes volvo and soulmate becomes goodyear tires... Oh, you can have so much fun with that one. I know I have a lot of fun with it, especially changing the responses around all the time.
