Re: Biggest competition threats to PHPBB forums
phpBB is a bulletin board, not a social network, Q&A site, bug tracker, CMS, blog, or a kitchen sink. Why couldn't this feature just be a MOD/plugin?

Re: Multi-language Q&A CAPTCHA support
Hmm, I haven't seen that yet (slightly embarrassing for me). I'll check it out now.Noxwizard wrote:The Q&A CAPTCHA already supports providing questions and answers for each language pack you have installed. What more are you wanting from it exactly?

Multi-language Q&A CAPTCHA support
I know of a (non-phpBB) website that's battling spam, and don't use a question/answer-type CAPTCHA because it's not friendly for users of different languages. phpBB supports multiple languages, and it would be nice if the Q&A CAPTCHA was supported for different languages. I don't currently know ...

Re: Include license info in JS files
HTML and CSS are non-functional and not really software. I guess the reason is the same as why license headers are included in phpBB core files (but not in phpBB style templates).callumacrae wrote:-1. It isn't sent in the HTML or CSS, why send it in the JS?

Include license info in JS files
Some scripts such as LibreJS can run JavaScript based on a license header included in each JS file . phpBB JS files are already GPL'd. Including this information in JS files used by phpBB would enable LibreJS users to run these files automatically. This webpage explains the exact details: https://ww...

Re: "Official" integration with Akismet
A forum permission sounds like the best option to me. It can be applied to the newly registered users group to take care of a limit based on post count and it could be disabled for specific forums. That sounds better to me. That could also reduce unnecessary calls to Akismet, depending on how the p...

Re: "Official" integration with Akismet
phpBB is open-source, free software. This means, it would be rather advertisement to include Akismet to the core, if user is required to pay for this service. Everything included in free software by default should be available for free, too Perhaps a different definition of free software ? Also, wh...

Re: [RFC] stop distributing worthless CAPTCHAS in 3.1
With regards to Q&A, it's possible to see if your question is on XRumer's list (XRumer is a popular forum spamming program). You can download the trial of their program from their website (I would suggest not running any executables though). I used a fake email address to download it. Last time ...
