We’ve just lauched [URL="http://reverseinternet.com/"]reverse Google Analytics ID lookup[/URL] service that allows you to find websites by the same owner based on Google affiliate IDs that they use. You can also do lookups based on IP address and nameservers

Some of the IP addresses here (and in other spam) don't look like proxies, but actual assigned IPs. If we block those ranges, some real visitors might not be able to access the forums.

So, presumably you have the updater installed?
Have you tried disabling the use of Internet Guide? This is covered in their documentation and in various posts here - Im happy to point you to the relevant information if you cant find it but please dont make multiple, identical, posts.
A very good post and certainly these are points really useful.
There is not one single silver bullet solution that will fix the spam problem on its own, it's the combination of road blocks you put up that make it too time consuming (i.e. not profitable) for the spammer(s) to continue, I know this from experience because I'm a security consultant, I get paid to fix problems like this and believe me this is a minor one here that would take very little time to correct. The only reason I posted is because I have used this site in the past to gather information about the spammers and hackers I battle every day and I just wanted to return the favor.
