New user/first post automatic moderation
Quote from Gespanne on September 9, 2018, 4:54 pmThanks 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.

Moderation functionality is already on my todo-list:
https://github.com/Asgaros/asgaros-forum/issues/49
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:

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