Ed05, unfortunately spammers and such are really difficult to get rid of on any system. When it comes to server redirects uCoz doesn't provide such features. This does look, however, like a bot. What is the difficulty of the CAPTCHA on your site?

Ed05, I think you should change to uID users (uID) [?].

Login ACP > User > Module Setting > Change to uID users (uID).

Since my site has the same problem as you. Then I change to uID account and there is no spam any more.

If you want user to stop posting stuff you don't want then one solution would be to

disallow all Users to post on forum and allow Friend or Checked to post on forum

This way you can make each user (except spammer) a Friend or Checked

(*make sure friend or checked permission are changed to match user group permission)

This can act like "Pre-moderate new entries (must be verified)" feature that is not available for forum at this point

Ed05, try to increase the number of required fields in the registration form and make the email confirmation required.

I'm not active on the forum anymore. Please contact other forum staff.
