Hi there, I guess this falls under the "Site Suggestion" category. First off, I feel kind of bad pointing this out, since the mods/admins here did me a solid by creating the "Canada Maritimes" board as I asked Which was very cool.
But I was just wondering--has any thought been given to moving to some BB software other than phpBB? The reason I ask is that there seems to be an awful lot of spammers and spam posts that make it in here. Of course I see the mods are usually quick to remove them. But would it not be simpler to just move to a more secure BB system? phpBB is notorious for being insecure in that regard.
Failing that, perhaps there's some administrative tweak that could be done to the installation to make it more difficult for spammers to flood in?
cheers!
