I am asking you since I believe this is the Best Run PHPBB site.
I have a PHPBB forum that is about a year old. I have installed the SEO package. Since I have done that and also have some other sites linking to me I am up to google rank of 4. The good thing is I am getting more and more users the problem is I am getting a lot of users that are joining with multiple accounts and put their website in that is usually selling or Porn. For example: Drew001, Drew123, Drew110 but they all have the same web site and never post anything. I was just wondering how you handle this. With a site like this I am sure it is harder to monitor this stuff but I notice you don't have this problem. Or is it that since you have so many members its not as noticable.
Thank you
Drew
We remove the accounts when they are created and deploy a variety of technical solutions to combat it.
What you describe is automated so using visual confirmation in registration will stop that.
