I use a very old version of Jive Forums. But the reason for a lack of junk messages has nothing to do with the forum software and everything to do with moderating the posts (as is explained on the page you enter your message on).
I've also written some shell scripts to do things like move a post from one forum to another (which I did with your post to Links), make a reply post a top level post (which I've been doing a lot with WBC posts lately which were really new topics), remove posts without using the Jive administration pages (useful for cross script attack attempts), and some others. Many of these features are in the newer Jive Forums version, but they no longer make the source code open.
Nonetheless, SPAM isn't a technical problem, it's a social one. Technical measures won't solve it. If you want a SPAM free forum, you've got to put in an effort to make it so.

Administration of this site rocks. It's no co-incidence that everyone from players, their families, agents, researchers and pro writers right down to we regular fans frequent JapaneseBaseball.com.
Gokurô-san to Westbaystars-san.

About
This is a site about Pro Yakyu (Japanese Baseball), not about who the next player to go over to MLB is. It's a community of Pro Yakyu fans who have come together to share their knowledge and opinions with the world. It's a place to follow teams and individuals playing baseball in Japan (and Asia), and to learn about Japanese (and Asian) culture through baseball.
It is my sincere hope that once you learn a bit about what we're about here that you will join the community of contributors.

Which type of script-engine does this forum use? I want the same one. There are not any topics like "Buy Viagra" and others.
Please, help me.
Thanks in advance!
