Default Re: Stopping spam on BV Forums

Heres a post that might help you

Also note, that banning an email or ip won't stop it. The spam you get are created by automated programs which have an infinite amount of email addresses at their disposal, and can use many different ips. The only way to prevent it is to outsmart the automated program.
