Spam Check for Asgaros

#1 · June 18, 2025, 8:58 pm

As the asgaros forum on my website frequently got hammered by Spam, I decided to do something about it.
I created an add-on, which is available as a wordpress plugin:
https://wordpress.org/plugins/spam-check-for-asgaros/

I hope you find it usefull.

Spam Check for Asgaros helps you keep your forum clean from spam.

When a user creates a new post or topic in Asgaros Forum, the content is scanned for a list of blacklisted terms that you define. If any are found, the submission is blocked, and the user can optionally be banned.

Features:
– Check both new post (reply) and new topic content for spam keywords
– Manage blacklist terms easily in Settings > Spam Check for Asgaros
– Choose whether to automatically ban users on spam detection
– Customise the error message when spam was detected
– Lightweight and fast

Hi @guido,

I installed the plugin.

On one of my motorcycle tours abroad, I congratulated a member of our forum on a birthday entry.

Then came the message “Spam detected”, the fee did not publish and I was locked as admin.

This has little effect on me as admin and keymaster.

How do I get out of the locked group again?

Can I do this directly via phpMyAdmin and where do I have to do that?

Edit: I found it self in usermeta / asgarosforum_role

Yes. Happy you found it.
you might want to adjust the terms and/or uncheck the “ban” checkbox in Settings > Spam check for asgaros
