Sticky How to protect my forum from spam

MindTooth: You asked

All I ask, is that someone will take a look, and maybe share some thoughts on the issue at hand

This entire topic is about sharing thoughts on the issue you've enquired about.

I think that it's important to put these matters into some kind of perspective. I visited your website. Your forum has a grand total of 414 messages. Can you tell us, what proportion of you all the 414 messages posted on your website were spam?

I looked at your site registration page: apart from the reCAPTCHA feature, it's just the standard Joomla registration form as far as I can tell. So? You've managed to prevent bots from registering at your website. Your registration procedure does not otherwise prevent human users from registering at your website.

Please look through the many suggestions that people have offered earlier in this topic. If someone passes by to offer you a tip, it's better to thank them for their interest than it is to say their idea was worthless to you.

Yes, 400kg, there is an option to review messages before they are published for others to read them. It's called "Review Posts" and the setup is explained in Sections, Categories, sub-Categories (Part 2) - advanced setup for special groups

forum administration is not there..... >>> oppZzz
Go to the Joomla Backend, then to Components -> Kunena Forum -> Kunena Configuration and select Forum Administration.
