One thing that's always annoyed me about phpBB is its near useless banlist.
A while ago, I located an improved banlist MOD and improved it to work with the forum on qmt.ath.cx.
If you're interested, the MOD can be found here - do note, though, that this mod hasn't been approved by the phpBB Group (though I've been using it for years without any problems).
