I'm having a problem with spam posting. I can't figure this out.
Daily, people are able to post spam... however the user is not registered. I've attached my settings. This has been a chronic problem since I installed the forum - three months or so.
What's notable is when I try to delete the posts (which always go to moderation); the site hangs up.
The "51 years" a member note is also a constant. What am I missing?
Thanks.
You can change wpforo registration link to default wordpress registration link and install hcaptcha plugin to protect registration form
This is more effective than using google recaptcha and wpforo registration form to protect from spam
I don't think so. Please don't forget about the human spammers. There is not any spam protection that can stop them. They are real humans. Please read this FAQ topic: https://wpforo.com/community/faq/how-to-stop-spam/
BTW, Akismet + reCAPTCHA are well integrated with wpForo. Make sure both are correctly activated.
