I've been deleting some spam recently that contain explicit pictures (it has the image in the actual message). Since we have a mixed audience here, I might suggest that perhaps we disable the ability to post images? Just an idea.

disable the ability to post images?

Thanks, BW
Unfortunately it's not so easy to just ban images. I tried a module last year that would disallow HTML for anyone not registered, but it didn't work and permanently messed up the HTML for some users (even after restoring the original files). I could turn off HTML entirely, but I use it for a lot of things and many legit images are embedded in previous posts. So I think the only solution is wait for phpBB3 to come out, should be around the end of the year.
Thank you for deleting them! -Jonah
