I've recently started up forums for my World of Warcraft guild, and I have a question regarding phpbb. I figured I would ask here, since everyone is friendly and helpful and less likely to say "LOL LEARN TO ADMIN NEWB!"

My question is this:

How do I stop unregistered trollers from posting on my forums, aside from banning IP's? There are multiple 'guest' entries that amount to nothing more than bashing my guild. And while I just delete these and move on, I would like to stop this from happening in the first place. I think these posts are coming from the same person, but on different computers.

Any help with this is appreciated. And now, I'm off to my guild boards. Thanks again, everyone.

Restrict access so only registered members to only post and reply.

I had to do it to these because I had idiotic spammers.
