Hi @diegopino

Install an anti-spam plugin > https://wordpress.org/plugins/search/spam/
I use Cleantalk, for example

visit my wpForo Community > Tutrix.de
with lots of customization & modification, e.g. hover cards, topic/post preview on mouseover, chatbox and much more...

Spam should be blocked at REGISTRATION/LOGIN level.

Otherwise it is very hard.

Google Captcha 3 is a good start.

@diegopino CleanTalk will make your site slow.

IP based protection doesn't work in 2024.
