October 18, 20195 yr A little on some of my sites, but I do notice a lot of posting with bad email addresses which bounce, mostly spammers.
October 19, 20195 yr Is there any option to check stats of PBR option? Can We check how many post was added via this option?
October 20, 20195 yr I don't know the answers to these questions, but I turned on my PBR. I still manually approve registrants, and when I do, I'll probably find out immediately who the spammers are. I've approved some members since I activated PBR not too long ago (like a few months), and so far no spammers. I'm surprised none have joined and posted before registering. Then again, I finally turned on the spam prevention features.
October 20, 20195 yr Then again, maybe they have, but I deleted the obvious spammers immediately, so I never saw their spam.
October 21, 20195 yr One thing I do when I notice spammer coming from specific domains, I ban the domain and it prevents them from using those email addressed on PBR. The form does use your site ban list I believe, but I'm not sure it uses IPS spam services to prevent registration. Maybe @bfarber or @Matt would know for sure how it works.
October 21, 20195 yr All accounts are ran through the spam service during registration, but not before.

In my case, I simply meant that if the registrant got a "4" from the spam service instead of a lower rating, I deleted him. Thus, if he had posted spam before regestering, I never saw it.
