To the forum owners out there. How often do you have to clean house regarding spam posts made by bots?
 
I haven't really had to do too much of that since my forum opened last August (2010). But I know when we did first open up, I swear I spent more time cleaning out spam posts by actual human spammers than any actual posting about on the board. Every time I'd make a new post, I'd turn around only to be able to have to clean up a spam post instead. Thankfully we have some anti-spam measures in place now, but I didn't really get to settle down and start posting/promoting till September sometime. It was bad for a while, I can say that much.
