Introduction
Your phpBB forum is going to commit suicide because of spam. Do you want to prevent it? Then this article is for you. Read it, follow the guidelines, enjoy and say thanks.
Do you want 100% protection? Hujushki! It's impossible. But, luckily, you don't need it. Being protected more than average is enough. If spammers can't spam to your forum, they won't investigate why, they'll just skip you.
I wanted to write about philosophy of phpBB spam, but decided to limit myself to practical advices. Ranting is left as an exercise to the reader. Here are some topics to feed the mind.
- Antispammers are worse than spammers.
- Differences between the forum spam and the email spam.
- What is the profit from the forum spam.
- Search engines are the main cause of the forum spam.
- How to pass an ideal CAPTCHA.
- Why people just can't relax and don't fight spam?
