spammers on my forum

[Zaphan58]

I run a small phpBB forum and am experiencing a lot of spammers signing up and posting links to porn and so on in my forums.

I have the image authetication on during sign up and am tempted to believe these are humans and not scripts from the posts that get posted.

Everytime it happens which is almost daily I delete the account and ban the I.P anything more I can do?

Yeah I have email verification on, will take a look at that site.

I shall give some of these suggestions a go. I 'l look into the smf boards although I have been quite impressed by phpBB3 betas I have played with so was looking to migrate to that once an RC is released.
