I don't know much about PhpBB (which is sad, because it was the first forum software I used) but is there a way to add a "Report to Moderator Button" to the posts? I find that it really helps for people to be able to report spam instead of the moderator having to look through every single post all the time. And with the community you are building here, I think everyone is happy to report spam when it.
At the moment, we do not have this feature here. But I will request it in the staff forum, and see if we can have it installed.
Before that, I am happy to take any reports of spam to my pm box. Just give me the thread url and I will sort it out as soon as I possibly can.
I'm very sorry about the spam. I have been able to find the network abuse email address of almost everyone of the spams in the last few days. I've sent the Admin and email with a copy of the spam from the forum and also the username, email address, and ip address of the spammer.
Thank you all for your understanding while we deal with this problem.
