I have a new problem. I think I screwed up. I wrote that I check e mails so this morning I woke up and found 12 new registrations and so far the e mails are legit.
However, I never get 12 Registrations at one time. I get maybe 3-4 in the course of a day--spread out.
I don't know what to do. I contacted the web guy.
I can't just bump off legitimate people

Can you give examples Randall? I got about 12 new registrations overnight. Only 1-2 were from bad e mails. Some were right after each other in time.
I accepted all the good e mails which were about 10 but it looks very suspicious because I have about 3-4 a day, as I said, and they trickle in during the day.

Generally speaking they have to be approved before they can spam your Forum.

Then they would try to sell a product or service.

Ok I guess I pictured spamming as people writing swears all over the place or somehow getting into the works of your website and making it look like you did bad things the way people get into your e mail and look like you sent Viagra ads to everyone

One guy did get on and He would put on an ad for furniture. I just deleted it.

They can use your Domain e-mail to spam people.
