If you really want to get rid of spammers on this board you have to have some extra tools.
Check out phpbb addons to make it more difficult for them.
There is a lot of things to install, and there is tools wich install without edit a single file by hand

To be honest captcha works anytime, the problem is with fourums .
You have to update, and upgrade not only the files but also the themes.
There is a topic in phpbb

And this is also nice to have

No need to install a mod....
There are a few anti spam captcha plugins that only require their files to be copied inside the forum files and they are then instantly available in the relevant section of admin panel.
Anyone of the following will do
Code: Select all

my personal favourite is sortables captcha plugin....
See how easy it is to install ( only a copy-paste required)

Those problems are now resolved!
to Lindsay: we already did run latest versions and upgrades.
Automatic bans in working again!
Somewhere in phpBB itself things did broke, don't ask me how, what or why.
The big problems are now fixed!
