There’s no way to keep spammers from getting blogs if auto-blog signups are allowed. So, I’m allowing auto-user signups but not auto-blogs. If you want a blog, you’ll have to leave me a message that you do. Sorry.
Many of the spammers have the ability to alter their IPs on the fly so there is no way you can prevent them via an IP lock-out… They can create millions.
Even I, due to certain real life problems, do not allow my proper IP address to be sent. At least I have mine altered through a site designed for that purpose rather than willy nilly.
Good Luck, this seems like a great idea but I’m afrain the spammers will get you down.
One more try with leaving things open. I’ve gone with blocking the spammers from the server instead of blocking them at the site.
Even that didn’t work. Their IPs are all sham, I’ll have to do a lot more work to determine where they are really coming from.
