I've installed phpBB Forums last week and the past 2 days I've been getting users sign up and posting spam chinese emails on each topic.

I have:-


Added captcha on registration
Made sure users have to verify subscription by email before allowing
to post


What else can I do to stop this from happening?

I've banned their IP addresses but this doesn't stop them from using a proxy to keep spamming the forums.

I've read I can block all chinese IP addresses through ACP but is this the best step to block all this?

Seems to be all chinese spam at the minute, any help would be much appreciated.
