And more.

Pity there is not a "report this post" type link so that admin can be told & them got rid of.

just deleted the two mentioned users + 2 other ones via the forum admin panel. this way i can easily remove all postings of the user with a few clicks....


please report every spammer to me via a private message.

i`ll take care and will cleanup.

ok, we have some bots registering every day....i will investigate a little what anti spam mods are available for phpbb3...

[mindbender]

probably it is only needed to update from phpbb 3.0.5 to 3.0.6.

Better captcha options and backported 3.2 captcha plugins:

* Classic and GD CAPTCHA
* reCaptcha (based on API from recaptcha.net by Mike Crawford and Ben Maurer)
* Q&A CAPTCHA
* 3D Wave (by Robert "Xore" Hetzler)

Moving this out of global discussion. All the bits are currently up to date. Occasionally a couple still get through. Its generally a bit better though. Will review the other captcha plugins anyway.
