Website administrator flooded with spam accounts
Website administrator flooded with spam accounts
Spammers have discovered a way to register on any phpBB-running website www.luchtzak.be included, last few days I received over 100 new registrations! Unfortunately all of them had the only reason to spam the forums Since a few weeks I am checking and accepting all new registrations, please use a good nickname and a decent mailadress (please no .ru or spam.com account) to register your account! And when your account isn't activated fast enough (let's say after 72 hours) please send me an e-mail! in the mean time I will look for a good solution to stop those spammers!

Bart, for myself and I believe for many others round here: once again my heartfelt gratitude and respect for your efforts! Keep fighting those bastard spammers!

Ha, poor Bart.
Our customer service people get about 50 spam mails from "Chinese businesses selling electronics" daily.

Upon registration new members will be asked to enter the following question: Enter three hundred eigthy in numbers (and when you change profile settings too)
I hope everybody will understand the question
I have removed about 300 spam accounts from the memberlist, in case you registered in the last week and your account isn't activated yet please re-register!

Did you upgraded to the latest version of phpBB3?
Re: Website administrator flooded with spam accounts
Yes indeed, but I think I solved the problem by adding the anti-spambot question!Bralo20 wrote:Did you upgraded to the latest version of phpBB3?
