We may finally be able to do something about all this...

I did some sleuthing and got domain WHOIS lookups on our most recent trolls. These links will give you some interesting results:

http://www.whois.com/whois/kitchencabin ... nets.co.uk" onclick="window.open(this.href);return false;

http://www.whois.com/whois/kitchensforsaleoxford.co.uk/" onclick="window.open(this.href);return false;

Please note that the domain IP address is exactly the same for both of the kitchen cabinet websites spamming us -- 77.243.190.55. Although I don't have any evidence to prove it, I have a sneaking suspicion that most or all of our earlier kitchen cabinet spammers were linking to sites with that IP address.

Daiv -- see if your spam filter allows you to block IP addresses. If it can't, you may want to contact your web hosting provider and find out if they can block the offending IP for you. Then the trolls won't be able to torment us anymore.

Yes, I can and i just banned that one. Let's see if we get some more. People will e-mail me if they can't register, but I am thinking these spammers are all in shady areas anyway.

I get user IP addresses on the admin side too. I can start watching for that and adding them to the ban list.
