Spammers Who Are Not Bots

These have to be blocked by hand or using some special utility. What do you do? How effective is what you do?

I will IP block usually if they somehow get through my spam filter. Sometimes they will switch up IPs so I will block e-mails as well. Usually, it only takes once or twice for them to give up.

I don't block users unless they post some offensive and hateful content on the website. I usually give 3 warnings before blocking them, but if they post harmful & hateful posts would block their ID & IP address immediately.

There are some forums that i have seen where in order to create a new thread you have to go through an approval process on the post and whilst this can be tedious it is a good way to ensure quality content.

How do you define spammers on a forum? Someone who creates a lot of posts but the posts are good, o someone who creates low quality posts, and uses a lot of external links? I do not mind users making a lot of posts as long as posts meet the quality requirement.

I hate when a member spams my forum intentionally. It makes me rage. If anyone spams my forum with any content which is against my forum's rules and TOS, I will put the users account on permanent post moderation. If they keep spamming, I will ban their account.
