prevent shoutbox spam?

posts: 5 United States
My tiki's shoutbox gets spammed a little because I allow anonymous shouts. Does tikiwiki keep a record somewhere of the ip of shouts so that I can ban the offending ones? I tried "shoubox spam" in the forums, but got no hits.

Banning IP's will never work.

Most spammers are coming in from dialup connections, where the IP changes with each connection. Its pointless.

The only effective way would be to get people to register, or use a Kaptcha system around the Shoutbox.
