If the staff here doesn't mind I would appreciate a return list.  All for the fight against spam.

This looks like about 1/100000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000th the size of our banlist.  :laugh:

yeah it's not much it's just that spammers have just recently become a problem of ours.  I just thought I'd share it.

On a PHPBB2 board I help, I tried limiting posts to registered users, maintaining a banned-list, and CAPTCHA (sp?), but I was still losing to spammers.  Finally I added a mod that adds a simple question to the registration page.  For example "How many wheels does a motorcycle have?"  99% of spammers leave the answer blank, and a few fill it in with some garbage words.   I think I've only had one spammer register successfully since making the change a few months ago, versus about four spam posts per week before.
