How to stop SPAM postings

Help, Please!

I am using UBB.threads 7.02 and someone using "Anonymous Ungregistered" is posting hordes of SPAM postings (porn links) within my site.

How do I stop them! I have blocked IPs but there are too many (each post is a different IP). I have deleted suspect users and "Anonymous" has always been blocked from the beginning. Also, I require registration to post. But they seem to get in anyway.

Thank you for your help. All was good until last month when they found a way in.

Your rhetoric forum allows for anonymous postings. The first thing I'd do is change that so it requires people to register before they can post in there.
