Hi, I was just wondering how people with tutorial sites limit spam from being submitted because after my site was on Blender Nation I have been getting lots of spam from some sites. What I did to try and stop it is by disallowing that site from being in the url. If that doesn't work I will probably get the IP and ban it. Any other good ways to stop it?

Banning IP's is pointless really

email or post spam?

Post spam I guess, it is like a bot or something (I think) that uses the tutorial submission to send in links that have nothing to do with tutorials. So far I just ended up banning the site the bot or person enters.
