Use the Verifacation code system on the Registration page. Only real people could register on the site and forum, and therefore only real people would be posting. That would also cut down on the extra and even perverted user names I've seen being registered, which means slightly less dataspace usage as well.

There's no problem with the registration, bots don't succeed in registering on the site. (they can't register on the site because I did the registration process myself, and now you can't register on the forums, you're forced to register on the site first)
Questions get spammed because they don't need registration. I did this because I know there are people who don't know how to register and would like to ask there, and because sometimes there are account problems, so that there's always a place to ask when someone is in difficulty.

This (partially) reminds me of a topic I posted a while back (http://baltosource.timduru.org/board/viewtopic.php?t=11909).

I do know where you're coming from, I deal with 'noobs' having no regard for the rules (that are clearly stated like, everywhere).

But, since I'm a lazy persona (and hungry), to make my point, I'll just say:

"That topic explains what I'm trying to get at..."

I Know, I Really Hate It When People Do That!

EDIT: Hmm.. I don't even remember posting this O.o

Anyways.. I do find it extremly anoyying. Spam bots are a big poblam, but not just spam bots. I find it so pointless the people join to post such poinless thing in the fourms and questions page.

Hmm.. I find that annoying two. All it really is are new members shouting out random thing to get a few laughs or ar just seeking attention. A.K.A to the rest of us, spam. Nothing more -_-

When I review someone's story or art I at least put more words down than "Cool"

Yeah, people who post junk that aren't spam bots try to get their post count up because on some other forums I've been to, you need X number of posts to be able to link to another website, or X number of posts to do this, X number of posts to do this... etc, etc. I'm guessing that some people may have gotten into the mindset that every forum on the internet is like that.

Okay, I've been known to have total conversations consisting of spam in the ShoutBox :lol:

. Although I've often kept it toned down.

People who spam just to get their postcount up are definitely annoying, though.
