Re: Let's rant on spammers!! :D
In January, phpBB boards starting getting hit really hard with spammers, but the reason why is still unclear.
We are up to date with the lastest phpBB version, we use Recatpcha, and I've added two anti-spam questions.
I'm not sure there's much else I can do

If link present in a post (specially for post count 1) then ban account for admin decision
I'm not aware of the PHPBB plugin system. This solution might be abit hard, but the chances of a non spammer posting links on there first post is fairly rare?

Asuming they always just hit the first board on the forum, add a spam board above the public general one and have it auto delete posts on regular basis.

Re: Let's rant on spammers!! :D
I also manage a phpBB board and it's gotten a flood of new user registration attempts (admin verification required) within the past 1-2 months. Prior to that it was very rare.
Also fully up to date installation, captcha, custom human verification, etc.
