Of course that would be the fault of the manufacturere. Sheesh! Sometimes Gio you exceed all expectations!

Agreed you are not going to stop it. It's forever an ongoing battle.

I think the new phpBB has the Text/Number box where you have to repeat the shown code. This prevents the Bots? Im sure TS uses that. This version of RS uses it too. But the bots have solved that one. There are a number of enhancements in the latest version of phpBB though that make life more diffic...

Dont know. It's easy enough to ban the usernames that are common spams, just by using the disallow username facility. Both spock and I fell for that one too. But generally it doesn't work. They just use different names. Firstly they use different variations on the name like: ThomasHernande, Thomas_...

Burty.. somewhere you said you delete what.. 75 accounts a week? Fine. How many admins do we have on RS? 3? 4? A lot of you are far more intellectual than myself, admittedly, but even 30 spam accounts each a day isnt exactly taxing Yes the software needs an upgrade. Fekking hell does it! But the on...

Very dangerous
