your best bet would be to make sure unregistered users cannot post.

Ok, I thought this (above comment) was a given - no? That shows my level of expertise here!
I'll look over the guide. I think I'm OK in figuring out how to edit it, it's just that I'm not sure what levels I should implement for whom - is all that in the guide?

Also, I would consider adding a load of words to the banned words lists such as viagra and other words likely to be used by spammers.
