Does Asgaros forum have any spam protection?

I’m glad to see that the massive spam that was on this forum has been cleaned up. But I’m wondering – if I decide to implement this particular forum on my website (sadly, quite a little chance now), what spam prevention tools, if any, would I have available to me as a forum administrator?

I use the “Ban Hammer” plugin and have blocked email addresses that make no sense for me to register.

Thanks for replying. Confirms to me that Asgaros has nothing to defend its users from spam or even its own forum; so I won’t bother to use Asgaros.

I have created a FREE add-on for this. It’s available as a wordpress plugin:
