interesting info guys, thanks for filling in the blanks. i stopped using bsdforums before the spam problem came up.

i find it surprising that the owner of bsdforums did not understand the utility of having someone else having full admin access. i have seen that behavior too many times in the past amongst business people: a total unwillingness to let others have real control over a process. reminds me of a job i had where my boss made me run *every* purchase by him because he was too stupid and short-sighted to give me a budget for purchases. "oh, you want to buy a USD 300 computer to replace a broken one... yeah, i guess that's ok" and this was the president of the company.

have you guys tried using spam blocking add-ons for the forum? we have our own spam problems with our fluxbb support forum, i'd be interested to hear any success stories in that area. seems that doing stuff manually and having a lot of rules, e.g. cannot post URLs until you've made 5 posts, is the current MO.
