Good stuff.

On forum I used to help out on a few years ago, we had a terrible problem with spammers. IIRC there was a vBulletin module that checked blocked IP addresses (reported via spam-o-matic to stopforumspam, plus we checked Spamhaus or similar) and prevented registrations. That got the bots, but there were still some human spammers that got through. Auto moderation was a big help, but even then, a handful of determined spammers waited out the first five moderated posts (as I think it was) to be able to spam. Still, this'll cut it down enormously.
