Hi philip.
Have you investigated putting some test for humanness into the forum
application process?

I am not talking about captchas with pictures. Rather randomly ask a
question like
Type in the developer of BGT's name.
What is twenty-five  plus thirty   six?
Type the second letter from your given username.

and other similar questions like that which most spammers won't be
able to automate, but is still simple enough for most users to answer.

 Hi Chris,

 It may be that the database is getting overloaded with unapproved spam bot
 registrations. I will have a look and see if I can clean that up during the
 day tomorrow. I've noticed it being a bit slow too, though never more than a
 couple of seconds on this end.

Hi Willem,

I have tried the stop bots extention in the past which is meant to do 
exactly that, but it turned out to be rather buggy so if I want this sort of 
functionality, I will probably end up writing my own. Unless, of course, I 
can find another similar extention to put in PunBB.

Hi Philip. Did the developers respond to your bug reports? The
spammers won't stop, so it is either writing your own checker or
dealing with bots as you currently are doing.

2012-01-24 Thread Philip Bennefall

Hi Willem,

I think I will end up writing my own when I have the time. I didn't get in 
touch with the developers of the StopBots extention, because after trying it 
for a time I decided that I didn't really like the way it operated and I am 
okay for the time being with the post and registration approval extention 
that I put in place instead. These bots I removed had registered before I 
put the approval system in place and I simply hadn't realized they were 
actually there.
