I've got a page with forum included based on phpBB 3.0.11. I know it's old, but I can't upgrade it because some reasons.
Okay, so the main problem is, that spambots were massively registering on forum and obviously sending a lot of spam. Captcha helped, but not for long - bots are registering now propably by hand (or just by Captcha bugs, really don't know how). For now i've also setted Flood Interval in post settings.
What can I do? At first I've thought about an extension or something - is there anything for that? Maybe something like reCaptcha on post writing?
Support for 3.0.x ended over a year ago.
We can only help you upgrade. But I will say, Q&A with a question that you cannot search the internet for the answer for is extremely effective, along with using the newly registered users group to put the first post in a queue.
Similar questions can be found in the 3.0 archive. You will not find anyone willing to write a MOD for 3.0.

We need to know what those reasons are. The only problem I see in this thread is that you are using really old, risky, outdated software. Let's get you up to a current version, what's holding you back?
