I noticed a very intesting name as the newest member ........ Female 16R personally it does not bother me but could offend some people as there are youngsters and women around here . I suggest you change it .

Are we missing an inside joke, innuendo, euphemism or something?

I'd be more interested in removing these:

All of those nicks joined on April 19, 2008 and all of them have links to porn and/or spam sites.

It would seem the forum is being spamed, shame.

[Leemazz]

Yes these are the ones . I noticed them yesterday .

Yah we've been getting this spam for months now. Anyone have a suggestion on how to stop this without closing forum registration?

[AS 2 Tom Little]

Okay I tried something new, let's see if it helps/works!

I too have this problem with a number of phpBB forums I administer.

A couple of ways I have sorted it:

1. Approve all new registrations and delete any that don't fit specified criteria (long and time consuming)

2. Insist that all registrations are FirstName LastName as it means that spam sticks out (not a phpBB setting dammit)

3. Since upgrading to phpBB 3.x on one of them, I've not had one spam registration.
