Spambot challenge has been beaten
Posted: Sun Aug 20, 2023 5:16 pm
When people register on this forum, they have to pass a CAPTCHA to ensure that they are a human and not a bot. However, the black letters on a grey grainy background that this site currently uses has actually been beaten over 20 years ago and therefore doesn't really keep any spambots out anymore.
I recommend switching to a Q&A or using a sortables captcha plugin. (https://www.phpbb.com/customise/db/exte ... s_captcha/) That if set up properly would stop most spambots at the gate.
Just posting this since I see lots of banned spam accounts in the memberlist.
