It's been a toss up for us between making it quick to register or locking things down and approving each registration manually. We're testing a forum anti-spam service that shares spammer profiles such as email address, IP, etc., plus content that we installed Wednesday evening. It might return some false positives, but so far so good.

I have seen other forums using vBulletin make one answer one of several simple questions pertaining to the forum before you post each time. Something like "How many players are on the ice at one time for each team?" It's a bit of a pain, but could that work here?

"One does not simply walk into Mordor. Its Black Gates are guarded by more than just Orcs. There is evil there that does not sleep, and the Great Eye is ever watchful. It is a barren wasteland, riddled with fire and ash and dust, the very air you breathe is a poisonous fume." Boromir

I tried that. I had a set of four questions and one would randomly appear when you tried to register. It was effective for a bit but was soon defeated by the spammers.
