PHPbb spam: website & signature

I was pissed off with phpbb spamming and i've added a little php code to prevent website&signature spamming.

edit usercp_register.php
find

if ( $mode == 'editprofile' )
	{
		if ( $user_id != $userdata['user_id'] )
		{
			$error = TRUE;
			$error_msg .= ( ( isset($error_msg) ) ? '<br />' : '' ) . $lang['Wrong_Profile'];
		}
	}
	else if ( $mode == 'register' )
	{

Code (markup):

add

if( $signature != "" OR $website != "" )
	   {
		  message_die(GENERAL_ERROR, 'You can add your website or signature after the complete of the registration. Try again without filling the website and signature fields');
	   } 

Code (markup):

That code prevents filling website and signature forms during the registration showing this msg:
You can add your website or signature after the complete of the registration. Try again without filling the website and signature fields

I hope it helps.

 

nice one!!

 

yeah thats cool, I im gunna try this on my movie forum.

 

Yes, but couldn't the user just register, then go to profile and change..

How about making it so that they have posted. Would give you code, but been long time since using phpBB
