I enabled comment moderation so that wasn't my problem. The problem was that spam bots would create new users programmatically, someone they were able to succeed with the CAPTCHA module, and they could create new users easily. The user's profile is where the spam bots would insert a URL to a web page they wanted other forum users to visit....or to skew Google's search engine results, by having more links to your website, Google ranks your website more popular and thus your website ends up on page one or two of a user's search... I could not figure out how to prevent the spambots from creating new users, even when my forum software would send an email they would have to clink to activate their membership. If I could have moderated that, at least I could delete requests that had links in the user profile...
