Visual Confirmation on New Posters

Tired of getting hit by bots that register on your forum just to make junk spam posts? You can add another layer of protection against these fiends with Visual Confirmation on New Posters. This modification integrates the phpBB visual confirmation system with posting to require newly registered members and guests to enter a code before their post is entered in your database. Posts from new members can also be blocked if the message contains the contents of their website profile field.

To avoid inconveniencing your legitimate members, you can set the number of posts for which new members must enter visual confirmation.
