I doubt if it is all that simple Al or else it would already be done. I am not sure but I think the complete format would have to be changed. Even with the security on modern boards, the spammers do get past it and post. We have a modern board at work that requires that you join first before posting and it is flooded with spam. Even with all the security the spam still has to be deleted by hand. I would be glad to help out the delete spam team if needed. Let me know if you need help Brian.
