I use a mod that automatically bans an IP that tries to fill in certain profile fields when registering. Because those profile fields do not exist on my registration page. So only a robot would try to fill out something that’s not there.

I also don’t let members post links until they have 10 posts and have been a member for 7 days. These two mods have cut out almost all the spam on my forums. Both were mods for 2.0.22 PhpBB

Hi guys, stumbled on the conversation and you all seem to know what your talking about. I run a small PHPBB forum thats getting pelted with everything from pharmacuticals to homepages that queerly enough, commonly seem to end with a “map.html” extension.

I’ve been reading about these software programs and have developed a surprising respect for the authors. The end users however need a good poke in the eye among other things.

I’m utterly scunnered! Does anyone know what the best math captcha system is for PHPBB? I’ve set the board so I manually approve all new members but some of the usernames are quite offensive and sit smugly down by the “our newest registered member is” part at the bottom. A bit off topic sorry but hoping one of you guys could help a stressing brunette x

Its a nice ploy by this software, just letting others to post links in their replies. Another peculiar problem I am facing when moderating forums is, I dont normally go through the entire post. I will just look at the title, if the title is odd or pornographic or spam or pharma related I used to delete that post.
But later I have found that several posts have normal and unsuspecting titles and body too. But the replies are quite unrelated prono or pharma related. And all these replies are made on the same day as the post. This is quite unusual. Maybe some submitter software behind this and also it may be some strategy. It adversely affected my forums.

Hey tomartomartini, you’re a dumbass. Black Mask is by the dude who did Affiliate Project X. The one you’re talking about by Alex Coed is Project Black HAT, which does not contain a video. So what did you do, read the sales letter of one and buy the other???? ROFLMAO ROFLMAO

Hi,

Thanks a Ton for this article.

I run a reasonably big forum with about 85000 members, One of the newly registered user posted:

======================
Hello all
Anybody here know about XRumer program?!
Give me some info or link to description…. thanks.

Also, do you know when XRumer 4.0 Platinum Edition will be released?

P.S. Sorry for my post in “http://www.abcdef.net/forumdisplay.php?f=15″ folder…
======================

so, like a good admin, i searched the google trying to find an answer, but thankfully i found your article & banned the user, his email domain, ip & tightened the registration requirements. I am not sure if we are safe from these spammers after doing all this, but i guess we know that me may get spammed heavily shortly

Thanks again for this great article, let me know if i could be of any help to you

Brett
