phpBB 3.0.4, GoDaddy Hosting, and SPAM

Postby itoregon on Tue Aug 04, 2009 1:33 am

Hello,

I am helping one of my customers with her phpBB forum. She is currently running phpBB 3.0.4 hosting on GoDaddy. We seem to be having a huge problem with SPAM on our forum. Despite enabling the security features such as captchas, user email confirmation, blacklists, and MX validation. We just can't seem to stop our forum from being overrun with spam and pornography.

We have also made sure that our forums are locked down to registered users only so guests are only allowed to read but not post anything. However, everything we have tried to stop this spam has failed.

Can anyone give advice on what we can do to stop the SPAM, this is rather offensive and we would like to stop it as soon as possible.

I know this is not the latest version of phpBB but it's what GoDaddy offers on their hosting platform. I plan to update it to the latest version but if anyone can help us stop the filth on the forums. We would really appreciate it.

Thank You in Advance

Jaysen

No I do not. Should I be posting my questions on another forum? If so, my apologies. I thought this was the main support forums for the software. If there is another forum. Kindly point me in the right direction and I will repost my question there.

Thank You
