I think I finally nailed down the only way to completely stop porn spam from getting on my site. There are spam bots out there that target forums like mine and dump crap and porn links on the post. I didn't have to deal with it too often but it was enough to be annoying! Maybe once every two weeks someone would get through.

Well now not only did I install the 'Are you human' mod to the forum which makes it a little harder for the bots to get through but I've also stopped member registration. So that means only people I let in to be a member and comment in my forum are allowed. Its not like this forum is a traffic monster anyway.

Anyway I was just annoyed that these spam bots got through my site again. I think that should be it for a long time!

Damn you spam bots! Try and get in now sucka!
