it seems like an increasing problem everywhere!

I've seen a phpbb site decimated by spammers

i think all the spammers are driven by search-engine robots... 

so it occured to me that if the URL was changed and the links used slightly obscure describtions 
like " D1scuss10n R00m" then the robots might not find the forum (ie zeros instead of o's etc)

might be a relatively simple way of turning the spammers techniques back on them
