Re: Spam
Many thanks!
If you can see my Foe list, all those users are spambots.
Also, I really want to help...I can modify phpBB with Akismet to block the spam from even being posted.

Re: Spam
I'll try to get the board updated to phpBB 3.0.6 first. Had a quick look at Askimet, so its an API, there's no pre-done "phpBB with Askimet already integrated" that you can download? I don't know enough php to do it myself, and while I don't mind giving trustworthy people admin access on the boards to help clean off spam, I'm not too comfortable giving out the FTP password for the site... but if you could get the phpBB 3.0.6 source, modify the files and send them to me, would that work...?

At least the place won't be flooded with junk anymore (hopefully).

Re: Spam
Have plugged in Akismet, see how it goes ^^ if no problems with legit posts, I'll re-enable registrations and see how much junk we still get.
Thanks very much Tino for the files for this ^^

Re: Spam
Legit posts can bypass the spam protection via the secret handshake that is displayed when a post is rejected, so that is not a huge issue. And it can be tuned to allow through known people, if needed...
