Community edition
One of the antispam solutions is a community-collected ban list. Once put in the list, the spammer can't spam further.
Textual Confirmation helps building the ban list. Each time spam registration is rejected, Textual Confirmation sends a notification to the forum administrator and TO THE COMMUNITY SPAM DATABASE. Example.
