Got spammed 50 porn messages on my kid's forum

Got a couple bots that spammed all these porn images on my kid's forums. The users were going crazy (they were disgusted)
What are some mods that I can use to combat this?

Get check4spam, ISBOT and vbstopforumspam.
Create a usergroup for members with more than a few post or more than a few reputation points. Then restrict the permissions of your 'registered user' usergroup in many ways.

I just installed DnP Firewall. It looks great but I hate the template at the beginning. How can I just delete it? https://vborg.vbsupport.ru/showthrea...highlight=spam

I don't think you should use that as its not used by many people (85 downloads).

I recommend https://vborg.vbsupport.ru/showthrea...light=firewall

Sorry for being a little rude, but can someone confirm what btks said about DnP Firewall since he only has 3 posts? (But yeah Id really like to uninstall that thing)

DnP is not related to spam protection at all, but merely an attempt to counter DoS attacks.

check4spam works extremely well, but the coder has abandoned it. You will need to get it from someone that has it installed.
Is Bot: Registration Time Check
vbStopForumSpam
Also install this: vMail - Verify Mail before registration.
