I have had a lot of automatic spam registrations on my forum lately (and some fake users from the past that I haven't deleted yet). I would like a fast, easy way to delete users from my phpbb forum. Does anyone know of any modifications that would help?

Ideally I'd love to be able to have a "delete user" checkbox on the memberlist so I can easily delete multiple users at once.

Thanks :)

Or even a checkbox in the member's profile would be a help.

I've never seen a mod like this but I don't spend too much time wandering around looking for mods.

I have always culled them manually from the db. It is only a couple of queries. You could probably build one in php easily enough, though I would put it in the admin section as opposed to in the member record.

Maybe a captcha mod so that you get less spam regs in the first place?

[phpbb.com...]

I haven't tried that but imagine it (or something like it) is worth a shot.

Try the Admin Userlist [phpbb.com] mod from the phpBB mod database - you can manage each user from the admin control panel. Not exactly what you're looking for, but it might help.

You should really just delete the memberlist.php file and remove links to it - it is not useful to the membership, and it attracts spam as it provides a place for URLs to be shown even if the member hasn't posted.
