PHPBB Spam
 

How do you stop it most effective way of eliminating it?

They work closely with Spamhaus, so eventually their will get an SBL.

:thumbsup

add a text question to the form and approve manually

That still involve work,i find only valid solution to prevent spam bots from registration.

there are mods to do it very easy ill hit you on icq duck :)

My forums have been spammed in the last month like never before...
Guess I'll use the "pre-approve" messages option...

If you have enough users and activities, appoint moderators. Motivated status-driven mods do quite a good job of policing the community.

Again manual work.I mean seriously why you would bother with any method which require manual work if you can do it automatically?

i got hit my spammers., so i disabled the registration., by entering the wrong recaptcha key .lol

not captch shows up so no registrations at all.,

cheers
