Does anyone know any good resources for stopping forum spam? I recently set up a finance forum and we're getting a huge amount of crap from Russia.
A lot of these are coming from people with emails ending in the .ru domain so I was thinking about black listing that.
Any ideas?

Same thing happened on a forum I ran, I ended up blacklisting basically all TLD except .com and .co.uk - but especially .ru & .info as all posts made with these domains were spam.
Do you have a captcha system in place? Perhaps insist on all registrations being approved by an admin before posting?0
