Hey everyone,

I’m uh, well.. look at the title.

Do you guys have any good tips for dealing with it? I’m not looking for a magic bullet (well…), but at least something to put a damper on it. Every night I’m deleting 3-5 members and 6-10 comments from my site. No forum, just comments and spammy members.

-Blacklist copied into htaccess
-Captcha seemed to make it worse

Any thoughts?

*Edit*
It’s a magazine/networking site, so I’d like to keep it relatively easy to join. *sigh* Maybe I’m just being delusional. This is the nature of the beast, huh?
