How to stop Spambots/Adbots

[Diar]

Don't let people post links until they have around 10 posts.

(You can also just automatically block posts with "ugg" in them )

true. What is an "ugg" anyway? Is that some secret codeword for "all your base are belong to us, puny humans. We robots want to force innocent forum members to click on this link." Maybe not, but I have the feeling that their is one, evil, computer version of Professor Moriarty behind all of this. You want to know a sure fire way to stop him? Report all ad bot posts and say your reason is ad bot.

That's what I do But they're often left there for quite a while.
