How do you deal with spam ?

I usually delete it, although I have been on forums where it was moved to Trash. I delete Spambots' accounts, even if it reduces the member count. I don't care .

I delete it and ban the spambot account.

I usually delete the spambot account. For regular members spamming the forum, I only delete and warn the person "only" if he keeps doing it repetitively

I trash all spam posts unless there is TOS violating content (Especially if they spam topics! ) and usually I look if they donated Platinum to someone, take said platinum, then ban the account. (They've gone by my name to spam my forum - I was not amused.)

Never had BOTs register on my forum and start spamming.

But if it ever happens i would delete the spam, Ban the ip and account.
