handling Spam is getting difficult

I am getting two kinds of spam posts
>users who join my forum post one post full of links
>user post one liners one single post for signature backlinks

signature permissions in ver  10 would solve that, so not a problem in next version

but how do we handle links within posts (i have ALSO activated flood control. )
they posts one post at a time..

ANS>even links within posts should not be allowed to new members or certain group of members
que> If we could trace all posts with url or anchor tag in one command would reduce our cleaning time it takes lot of time manually visiting each post.



currently I have added following in bad word control filter
http, href, www, .com, .co, .info, org

any other way to avoid these spammers...they use different email address and spam from different ip address every time..

thanks

all these are already implemented.
I will wait for version 10

Here is a list of IP ranges, (Mainly Chinese / India based), that have been registering on my forum to sneak in and post links whether in their posts or signatures.

You should suspend these, in the following format, it has decreased the amount of spam on my forum dramatically.

• 111.172.*
• 112.111.*
• 117.26.*
• 59.92.*
• 111.*
• 123.52.*
• 123.53.*
• 122.164.*
• 118.70.*

The problem with those IP blocks is that the automated submissions/bots are using open proxies on servers from around the world. So you end up having to ban IPs in every multiple locations and not particular to a country...
