Spam prevention
Posted: Mon Mar 03, 2008 10:55 am
Hey guys,
I know this forum has decent spam user prevention by requiring admin to enable users, but as an extra layer of protection I have found this system to work extremely well in phpbb2.

Even with using the default kittenauth captcha, it has virtually elimated the spambot registration on my forum. The good thing is, even if it ever is cracked you can quickly change it up without heavily modifying any phpbb files, or do it periodically for ultimate protection.
