Today at 5AM i deleted Literally 14 Posts, and banned the IP. All posts were selling blond Teens or Penis pills.

I have been noticing that bans, either via IP or username dont work anymore. Is there a reason for this? This just ties up our hands if we dont have the capability to ban spam or people who are causing trouble.

PHPBB is one of the most popular forum systems. It has tons of features and is very customizable. Which leads to it's high ammount of security problems.

Not so easy in this install, its tied into joomla using a crude hack and is pretty old, most spammers look to say "guest" i really wonder about that, why they can post as guests in these forums
