PHPBB3 Anti-Spam Registration Question

I administrate a few PHPBB3 forums, and recently noticed one had a BIG spam problem. I had naively assumed that PHPBB3’s version of CAPTCHA would stop the bots at the gate – oops.

Manually deleting 100’s of spam accounts from my forum wasn’t fun.

Determined to prevent this from happening again, I asked Google what to do. Google’s answer was this:

Anti-bot Question

It’s effective, integrates well and is easy to install.

You don’t want to experience a bot infestation – prevention is better than a cure.
