its software.

you should set it up so new members need to be verified.

thats how they get in.

software creates user names and accounts in php bb forums.... then automatically spams posts with backlinks to their sites.

if you set it up so new users need to be activated by admin, then it will stop.

spammers are already winning. nothing ruins a forum faster than spammers. mods please act more quickly to delete this crap or log on more often. If you can't be bothered to log on then why even be a mod?
admin, if there is anything you can do to add a layer of security to registration it would make it harder for spammers to join these forums.
I'd say admin/mod approval for all new members would work if there are enough admin/mods to cover the task.
If the spammers continue to gain a foothold the forum will die and quickly. We saw what happened during HTCC week. The forum was an absolute waste of space during a very busy time when it would have been very useful to people who take the time and trouble to post here.
How much did you produce?

There are plenty of regs on here every day who would make good mods. Even if we fight and bicker ourselves sometimes, it's short-lived and we would pursue the common goal of keeping this place spam free. Not saying I want to be one as such, but the pool of possible regs is obvious and relatively small. Should not be hard to pick 2 or 3 more mods.
