Hello Emailaya,

I need to say that with v2.2.2 of InvisionPower Board there are a lot less spamers due to new registration image algorithm. But, I am still manually enable users after they register.

so u say i should just use v2.2.2 of InvisionPower?

not sure i understood:
But, I am still manually enable users after they register
so u say u have a full control on who registers and who is not?
that's the best thing,no?
it means there is no way to spammers to get in

Hello,

It's quite better than PHPBB.

I played around with phpBB once or twice, and if I'm not mistaken that option should exist.
It's where you can choose how registration goes (always alow, use e-mail to complete registration, and verify registration manually).
When someone registers for the formum the account is only activated when an administrator confirms the registration.

It's been a while so I can't exactly tell you where the option is located ...

I didn't have a single spam registration in phpBB since I use that mod (for over a year now):
