How can I stop these avertising spammers from registering. I am deleting at least 3 of these clowns on average per day.

Look at the last entries on the memberlist.

Wim, can't you ask someone at the phpBB-group, who made this forum-software?
Or Ed?

Gr. Paul.

the problem with them is they want to advice their web site....
removing the Web site when one is registered should solve a great part of the problem i think

Does anyone understand how I actually can install this MOD (what is an MOD?)

MOD is for modification

the program will block those which try to be recorded by script.... It will not be able to prevent those which is recorded in a normal way.

Okay, but how do I install this MOD?

Here's another one that looks promising, but I can't figure out how it is installed.

Thanks Francois,

Hurray ! I installed a modification. If you register now and fill out the website field, you get a message Die Robot
