In the last two weeks, it seems I get at least 3 new overseas registrants to my board per day who are interested in posting useless spam (drugs, cell phones, etc.)

They're easy to spot and ban via their IP in control panel and via an .htaccess file, but is there a better way to deal with these guys?

Anyone have a good IP ban list for including in my .htaccess file?

Note: I'm still running classic and haven't made the switch to threads yet.

Thanks for any tips.
