In my old UBBC, I enabled self-registration. But I was constantly bombarded by neer-do-wells registering all kinds of ficticious users. So I finally turned it off.
I would like to hear from anyone who has successfully dealt with spammers and trolls in UBBT7.
TIA...

I use email verification and also moderate registrations and have minimal problems. I also added a few questions that make people that know nothing about the topic stand out as a possible spammer so I just reject those.

1. User registers on your forum and an email is sent to their email address.
2. User recieves email and clicks a link, and the paramaters defined in the link show that their email address does exist and that someone (or a very smart robot) can recieve email at that address.
If user does not click the validation link, their registration is simply purged out of the registration queue.
