It is amazing that websites are under almost constant attack by such attempts. The only reason the whole web doesn't collapse is because of protections like StopForumSpam. The average user has no idea how nasty the internet would be without all the protections that are in place. Maybe that's not a good thing because, absent experiencing it, they don't truly appreciate the scope of the problem.
