    You can IP ban the Spammer or Email ban him. That's the way to stop the spammer.
    P.S. BTW that skin your site has my site has the same one. Very Happy

    and saddly theres no option for blocking Proxy IPs into Forumotion Sad
    just ban the username the emails and Ips
    that should keep him outside if he dosent use a proxy or another email like most spammers use
