    I have recently purchased a phpBB forum and it is being spammed with pornography.

    When I first viewed it, when it was listed here for sale, I knew it was riddled with pornography but I thought I could tidy it up and stop it happening. I am manually deleting all these posts but I would like to be able to stop these people altogether. I have selected that people need to register and I am banning their IP address and username when they make new porn posts but of course they keep changing their username and I think they must be using proxy websites, so banning their IP address isn't really all that much use, but I wondered if anyone has a suggestion as to what else I can do?

    I am very knew to this type of website as well, so I haven't worked out all the functions available in admin but I am willing to learn :)

    Any help would be greatly appreciated.

    This is the site: http://www.dealerlife.info

    It is my desire that this site be available to genuine users, people in the industry and other like minded people. I would also like to be able to stop people using it as a free advertising portal. I hope to be able to sell advertising space there soon, when I learn how, LOL :D

    Please leave your suggestions:)

    Cheers
    Misty
