Spam Protection
Quote from bjm on December 31, 2021, 12:52 amI noticed spam appearing in the “support” forum.
Wondering if the same Wordpress “Disallowed Comment Keys” from Settings > Discussion (in regular Wordpress) apply within asgaros?

Quote from Biker on February 17, 2022, 2:58 pmI only allow registered users to post in the forum.
I’ve also locked out countries that can’t do anything with my forum anyway.
For this I use the plugins Ban Hammer and IP Location Block.
This worked so well and I have almost no spam on our site.
Since this is a support forum, the same implementation is difficult as people from all over the world are using it.
But what I see is that a lot of hackers are trying to hack my website.
This is also recognized and blocked with the IP Location Block plugin.
This happens almost every minute.

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
