Nice of them to put random spam links in their website field, makes it even easier to purge them!

And also, upgrade phpBB to the version that uses captchas for registration:
| Quote: | 3.1 captcha image verification
phpbb version 2.0.11 onwards uses the captcha image verification system which requires a new member to enter a set of letters and numbers from a generated image before being able to sign up. Switch it on in the Admin Control Panel under in the Configuration menu (thanks to androidtech for the reminder). If and only if you have a significant membership comprising the visually-disabled, then there are mods available to slightly alter the signup process enough to fool most bots. This will kill automated signups stone dead. You will still have the problem of manual spam signups, but we're getting to that...  |

That field doesnt show on the admin page for mass bannings 
I did delete just about everyone with a 0 post since Mid Febuary so some lurkers probably got banned on accident, sorry.
