I am using v4.0.6 hosted through you guys. I am being hammered with spam users logging into my site. I go in and have to delete on a regular basis. What can I do to stop this mess?

You might want to give some details of what you are talking about? Are they registering on your site? Are they hacking your site? Are they just filling out the contact the seller form? Are they using the contact us form?

What precautions and/or preventative measures if any have you done? Are you using the free captcha for contact forms? Do you force registration to add a listing? If you do, are you requiring email validation?

Without providing any details, it is difficult for anyone to give you any type of sound advice. Think about it this way, if you called up the auto repair shop and just said, "My cars making noise, what can I do to stop this?" What do you think their response might be?
