Yep, I suspect you do John, you'll never stop the tit who wants to sit in front of a computer and play at being the nuisance.

The only 'absolute' way to prevent them, but its not viable on a forum is to force the spammer to pay for the link. In the phplynx script we built in the feature where you can switch on or off the payment option in any level, I've set the demo to show you. Check here and you'll see that the tit with time now has to pay $1 to submit.

It won't suit everyone but it is the only 'real' way to prevent spam, for as you say there will always be the one village numbskull who can't crack the child lock his mummy put on the pc to stop him looking at nudey pics so he goes and submits on sites for fun instead. So if you do get spam the silly little tit has to pay for the privalage. I suspect that this is why Aviva don't appear to get spam, although perhaps they did or they wouldn't have needed Rob's mod.
