I have a small message board running phpBB and it is being attacked by spammers from every angle. I need an expert to a) update the software, b) patch with the latest security updates, and c) install whatever popular mods there are to keep bots from signing up. In addition we would like users to be able to upload photos and make sure we have a protocol in place to assign moderators. The winning coder will explain to us a convenient way to enable moderators of different levels. We are looking for a phpBB expert. You will have ftp access to the server as well as mysql access if necessary.
