I was searching again this morning about "how to stop forum spam" and other things happened across a cached version of a page on https://www.woodworkforums.com and found some spam statistics by "Spam-O-Matic" that listed the following:

Spam-O-Matic StatisticsSpam-O-Matic Statistics
482915 Spammers Denied Registration
1236 Spammers Permanently Banned
1285 Spammers submitted to StopForumSpam
1343 Spammers submitted to Akismet
14946 Spammy Posts Automatically Moderated
Bold formatting by me, not original. However, when clicked on the page, I couldn't see the above. When I put "Spam-O-Matic"
into Google I found multiple similar results.

Evidently Spam-O-Matic is a plugin for vbulletin and QB doesn't have or use.
