Another idea: Can you mod phpBB to use nofollow? If so, can you mod phpBB to use nofollow on all accounts with fewer than 15 posts so that we have at least some time to catch spammers?

I've temporarily banned anyone from signing up with a @mail.ru email address. If this affects anyone, just reply here (I've enabled guest posting for this part of the forum).

It's just getting old to have to keep deleting spam users (getting to be a few every day).. even if phpBB used the 'nofollow' thing, I don't want them polluting the user list.

MOD Name: Visual Confirmation for Guests

MOD Description: Adds visual confirmation for guest posts, eliminating spam.

Install, please. Then we can re-enable guest posting in the rest of the forums without having to deal with the constant stream of spam.
