...finding and locking the spammer accounts...
THANKS!
I routinely go to the member page and look for new members with certain characteristics, and lock them. Someone has beat me to them the last two days or so, and I appreciate it!

If you can't feel the music; it's only pink noise!
I have moderator rights on the VN forum, but I don't have the ability to lock accounts.
Appearantly most of these forum spammers just want to increase their google backlinks. To keep that from working my job also kills off their backlinks.

Sure is.
I would keep an eye out every now and then to make sure the automated thing is working, but long term hopefully this will solve the problem.
We have jobs that perform various maintenance tasks on our SQL servers. I wrote a job that deletes the spammer's posts and locks their accounts. It runs every 15 minutes or so.
