jlhaslip 4 Report post Posted September 6, 2007 phpbb Forums include options in the Admin Panel to restrict registrations by requiring an Admin approval, and other methods to avoid abuse of your Forum. On the other hand, if you have a Public Forum, and are trying to attract more users, it defeats the purpose of automating the process. :PI suggest you 'weed' out in-active users once a month or so.

reconraiders 0 Report post Posted September 6, 2007 There's no reason you should have to "weed" them out on your own. I would get a new forum system like MyBB, SMF, or AEF or something. OR you can get a modded version of phpBB that has a CAPTCHA image at registration. PhpBB always attracts bots that automatically sign up. So you need to get something with a CAPTCHA image to stop them from signing up. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
