Oust-spammer phpBB Script
Automate and streamline deletion of spammy user registrations for phpBB 2.x, version 3.1, early-April 2008. 3.1 fixes a minor bug where member names to delete containing commas would stop the script.
Oust-spammer phpBB Script, version 3.0, early-April 2007, is a Greasemonkey script for phpBB version 2.x, allowing administrators to quickly delete unwelcome names from the member list. The script allows administrators to check off multiple names at once, then delete them all with the press of a button. Although there are also phpBB mods to allow quick purges of member lists, using this script allows you to keep a standard phpBB configuration and files without modifying any of them for the process.
Updated 4-12-2008: Version 3.1 fixes a minor bug where member names to delete containing commas would stop the script.
Do not directly install without modifying the script's phpBB address for your board. (Unless you administer my board. And you don't.)

Version 3.1 fixes a minor bug where member names to delete containing commas would stop the script. All names should now process properly. That is the only change.

Version 3.0 changes the way it detects the administration page link to better accommodate different board styles. The change also better protects against idiots who might try to spoof an administration link inside their own information by tightening the administration link match and not allowing navigation off the main domain page.

Version 2.5 was written to work with a problematic board that used a nondefault style resulting in the control buttons were not displaying. The script changes should provide more graceful degradation of operation if expected internal structures are not present (although it might be uglier, not much I can do about that).

In version 2.0 two new buttons supply additional information about the listed users to help you decide whether or not a member name is valid. The Show Email button toggles between the normal email icon display and the actual email address of members. The Show Website button toggles between the normal website icon display and the website link.
