If Warez is illegal then spammers should DIE!

What's the best way to stop spammers?

I can't get rid of them :/

I'm running hdspot.net and it's under phpBB3.

Usually spam contains links - we enabled a plugin on our forums that doesn't allow a newbie to post links.

Problem solved! :)

Not sure about PHPBB plugins, I guess you could search around a bit.
 
I found a plug in but I have to make a lot of changes, (I don't like editing too many files).

I have captcha installed, and I think it has helped me a lot, also I increased the waiting time while posting.

Approving post manually is impossible, I rarely have time to spend on hdspot, I have a lot of work. and I run hdspot.net all by myself. (no moderators, no admin, just me).

I'm looking for way to make it automatic. I really need to stop those spammers.

My last resort would be installing this mod. (http://www.stopforumspam.com/contributions this website offers good mods/plugins.)

I justa the NeCaptcha option, tested it and worked perfect.

I had the emails confirmation option enable but it used to much resources, I just disabled it.

Let's see how it goes.

Thank you very much.
 
This new captcha is doing a good job, but I still get spammers. Damn, spammers should die.

It's no about their links or posts, they just mess up a website easily, so a newbie wouldn't even know what's the site about.
 
Hi hdspot.net I know mod in phpBB which has reduced spam to 99.8% on my forum, I could tell you in PM you if you wish :)

PS. Free :p
