New user/first post automatic moderation

Thanks for all your work, Thomas.

As you already know this forum was spammed within the last 24 hours.  It is an issue that every admin must deal with all too often.    Our old site was plagued with Nike ads in French almost every morning until we got a feature that put any user, new or old,  on moderation by default when they make their first post.

I like Asgaros so much that I feel a little ashamed when I ask for more features and functions.  Still, if that option already exists in Asgaros could you please tell us how to implement it.  If it doesn’t, would you consider adding it to your already heavy development burden.

Hello @gespanne

Moderation functionality is already on my todo-list:

I am also thinking about an optional Akismet integration into Asgaros Forum which can detect spam-posts automatically.

Currently I am using the following plugin to prevent spam-bot registrations for this site which is a nice solution for those problems as well:

Google Captcha (reCAPTCHA) by BestWebSoft

Its working nice but sometimes (2-3 times a month) some bots are “intelligent” enough to pass the detection system.

If you want to support the development of Asgaros Forum, you can leave a good review or donate. Thank you very much!
