Zacharymib & Travislam are spamming the forum. Looks like a hack cause they've posted game related content before

I think the problem isn't the spammer itself but that his password is too easy and hacked

I mean captchas for each post. The bots couldn't solve the captcha. They hack The (too easy) password of some users und then they're posting spam

If you have access to the ACP, go into it-> forums-> userposts -> permissions...you should be able to set up post captcha's from there, but you'll have to adjust the settings for each section separately...hope this helps...
Edit: i just noticed that i'm a little late with this post--by a few months...sorry about that... *facepalm* ...lol
