Hi !
If that members(humans or bots) post unwanted materials like SPAM, porn, advertising, drugs, and others, you need to Ban that users (or delete them). I recomand to ban them, and delete all posts containing that "bad" posts"

There are anything that I can do to help ?

I've been deleting them under the adminstration, ... management, but its freaking out some of my members.

Is there anything else I could do? can I disallow registering websites? or emails?.

I've encouraged my members to not show their emails, of course not everyone gets it. I would think that would limit phishing.

You can ban IP addresses only if you get registrations with the same IP, if not, you can't do anything to stop registretions

What about allowing the forum moderators not to allow registrants to post their websites in their profile much like we can allow them not to have avatars?

Can you put new registrants into a new member list interface for quick administrative deletion?
