I'm sorry to hear that norge - Will miss you around here.

We're trying to keep on top of the spam and prevent as much as possible - Apologies that we can't get it all though.

Daniel,

Load phpBB Admin page,
click Configuration under General Admin on the left side.
After the "General Configuration" page loads up find "Enable account activation" and click on "Admin"

You will get a email with a link that you have to click before the new member can post.
I have had 22 new members on my site in the last 24hrs and each one has been a spamer.
It's easy to tell by the email address, URL and general info they give and I just delete the accounts.

Hope this helps

Leondus - Actually, that is a great idea. I don't know why I didn't think of that before!!! Cheers.

This is now in effect...
