Blocking Spam?
Hello All,
Could anyone tell me the best way to block spam? What do you use to block spam from your forum? I was going to install Spam-O-Matic, but I just wanted to see what everyone else does to block spam. Is Spam-O-Matic the best mod to block spam? Your help is greatly appreciated.:up: |

On my last forum I had to disable the registration and requested via a post within the forum to have people email me to activate their membership manually, for each member, I had zero members email me and over 1k spam bot members register. I just setup a new forum last night and I don't want to deal with spam and bots and would like to have a normal registration process.
Any suggestions? |
