Membership backlog

[oldsalt Member Find all posts View Profile Close oldsalt]

What we do on our forum is, when an application is made we send them a standard reply asking them to give a few details about themselves.

If they don't reply the matter is finished.

That way you only deal with the genuine ones.

We use SMF and c-panel they both have a spam filter that cuts out spybots and spam.

Surely there are similar extensions for phpBB?

Re: Membership backlog

I have changed ours as well. Added another question on registration and now rarely get spammers trying to register.
But I certainly know where your coming from.
