I tried spammer checker on my Q2A http://odlg.org + http://net-on.org + http://mr-ginseng.com , but how do you know if it's going to work, because it it say to automatically delete spammers users but how can we test it? There is no way we can know if Spammer checker is going to delete "good users"?!!!

The code checks the email and IP against stopforumspam.com and botscout.com, two reputable sources to check such things. If you have doubts about false positives, you will have to devise your own solution.
