I noticed a very intesting name as the newest member ........ Female 16R personally it does not bother me but could offend some people as there are youngsters and women around here . I suggest you change it .

Yah we've been getting this spam for months now. Anyone have a suggestion on how to stop this without closing forum registration?

Tom

I too have this problem with a number of phpBB forums I administer.

A couple of ways I have sorted it:

1. Approve all new registrations and delete any that don't fit specified criteria (long and time consuming)

2. Insist that all registrations are FirstName LastName as it means that spam sticks out (not a phpBB setting dammit)

3. Since upgrading to phpBB 3.x on one of them, I've not had one spam registration.
