phpBB Spam Problems....

A friend of mine is having spam problems on a mainstream phpBB forum - He gets about 300 registrations a day and has to sift through them all - He uses a Captcha but they are getting around that of course.....

Anyone here now about spam on phpBB forums that can help?

Edit: He is manually approving...

Have him implement a shared community blacklist or two. It works well.

That's all you need to stop 100% of auto-spam :2 cents:

+1.

I found questions block the spambots completely.

Yeah, that is most effective. On my last phpbb I did 4 or 5 rotating questions and voila, no more spam.
