You guys gotta do something about these bots flooding the forums every night. Maybe implement a captcha or something.

Not sure why they got to be Korean either. They are not setting a good example for my own people!

Yes, I'm looking into this. I've tightened the forum spam filter every single night (and even implemented email verification on sign-up), and these are still coming through. I'm working on it.

Not sure which version of phpBB you're running, but there should be an option somewhere to limit the number of posts a new user can do: https://www.phpbb.com/support/docs/en/3 ... um-access/

Or you can use an extension: https://www.phpbb.com/customise/db/exte ... to_groups/

I want to explore more of our options, but this is a great addition. Thanks, Kronzky!
