A question to prevent spammers

[Simba]

phpBB prevents them from hacking into the main site and messing with it doesn't it? or did I understand wrong? cause that would already prevent part of the trouble with trolls that Commando mentioned.

sounds good enough to me without going to extra measures, at least until there's given reason like if some gets through it.

Just be lucky you don't SEE the spam, it can get pretty graphic sometimes. Sometimes they even go as far as posting offensive pictures. We did see it once though, but after that, the mods have been pretty good at hidding, if I remember correctly.

Yeah we got hit hard once. The best thing to do if you see a topic that looks like it might be spam is to not open it, and certainly not make a reply to it. If you make a reply it only adds more work to the moderators.
