 i put the site to higher security by setting it so that registration requires e-mail validation, and e-mail addresses can only be used once. also you have to log in to post, that way the spammers who made new accounts using 'blompcube@hotmail.com' and called themselves stuff like 'admin' will not be able to post :D so i think i have sorted the problem :D, they won't be back.

 Ban their IP. And if there are some MILD spammers, Create a Spam board.

If they have a dynamic ip there is no way to ban them unless duffman gets in contact with the isp, dont ban everyname they register with as you are causing trouble for non registered users :P they could also register a thousand times with no avail.

The ISP often has a set of dynamic IP's. If you watch for each one as they try to spam you up, and ban each one, eventually you'll get all of them.

I screened out all of AOL by doing this.

Dont like the idea of a spam board because all's people do is fill it up with rubbish, causing the server to slow down.

 A single forum in your board wouldn't cause the server to slow down, the servers holds thousands upon thousands of boards, one more won't do any harm. ^_^ And lots of forums have spam boards.
