    Probably a fairly good idea to not visit that link; might be malformed anyway, reading between the lines on this thread; http://codingforums.com/archive/index.php?t-104038.html
    There are several PHPbb admin methods, some have been mentioned, and some of the original built-in ones don't really stop the various-spammers. The problem is they get on your member list even before they're approved and the list is spider-bait and the spam names/url's/email addresses are often offensive to legitimate forum members especially if the forum belongs to a group/company/etc. but is publicly available. There are several (3 or so) pages you can edit in PHPbb to slow them down a lot, and one more to stop them totally. But the internal admin tools are not really much good in PHPbb against spammers. Anyway, that's MHO.

    Hmm i would suggest that maybe the original link should be removed.

    the site isn't what it's meant to be.
