Update: I just discovered that the "robot" that is accessing and
spamming my sites it XRumer. It hacks into gmail, gets a valid gmail
account then it registers and spams as many Forum sites as it can find
to "plant" illicit links so it can exploit google's PR system.
Anyone know of an anti-XRumer script or detector?
Forum spamming is a typical problem. To stop that, you need to burden
your users with a captcha upon registration, or if you don't require
users to register, then burden them with a captcha upon each posting. I
suppose if you code up your own exotic form submit scheme (maybe through
javascript/ajax?) the bots may skip scanning your forms and move onto
lower hanging fruit.
