As a new member this subject is beginning to annoy me immensely already, get em all reported to www.antispamalliance.org and get them off this forum for good.
They can come back then and tell us all how much we have cost them in fines. The W***ers!!! :evil:

I have returned to this site that I used to read on a daily basis. Now I check the site maybe once a month due to the ammount of SPAM.
YOU HAVE TO DO SOMETHING ABOUT THIS, OR THIS SITE WILL DIE A VERY SLOW DEATH.

Hi everyone,
I've just posted a poll in the announcements thread as we're looking into increased security measures for each posting to try and tackle the spammers!
Please, have a look and let us know what you think!
Many thanks,

Oh dear. I am new here, but it seems every other mail is about spamming!
I am sure phpBB has some useful plug ins that can help...
This may help (I have heard that Askimet is very good at reducing spam - it is used on Wordpress blogs).
"How to get Akismet working with PHPBB:
First, Install the PHPBB spam words Mod â This will take about 20 minutes but once this is done adding Akismet support will only take a minute.
Now to Add Akismet support, itâs easy; First you need an Akismet API key, these are free if youâre not a commercial user, but all the details are on the Akismet website.
Then download these 2 files, remove the .txt at the end so it ends in .php and upload them to the forum/includes directory.
spamwords.php.txt â this replaces the spamwords.php that came with the Spam Words Mod
functions_akismet.php.txt â EDIT the top of this file to add your API key.
Once done, test it by making a post as someone OTHER than an Admin/Mod, try making some spam and see if akismet catches it. The spam will appear in your forum admin control panel under Flagged Posts and you can delete them from there.
Note: This is a semi-rough hack, and short term only, ideally in the future this will become part of the official Spam Words mod, with more features such as Spam/Ham reporting to Akismet. "

Right, now back to the forums to see if I can find an actual article to read!
