new attempt to stop fourm spamming
I hope the regular spam entries do not occure any more. I installed some additional protection on registration screen, that will hopefully hold for a while...

Hi Boris,
just a proposal:
If wanted I or maybe other long-time posters and meteohub-users could volunteer as mods and help deleting spam.

Re: new attempt to stop fourm spamming
I hope your new ploy works.
In case not, I'll mention that on another Forum I'm on new members can't post till an administrator has approved membership. That way it is usually pretty easy to spot and reject the potential spammers before they get started and without the need for moderation of individual posts. That forum uses "smf" (Simple Machines?) rather than phpBB, but maybe there is a similar facility?
Just a thought...
