Sticky How to protect my forum from spam

First off, this is a Joomla problem (registration is handled by Joomla), not Kunena.

Second, there is several components and/modules which can help you out.
You could, for example, this combination: recaptcha at registration, automatic cleaning of non-activated profiles, some kind of botblock (registration validator?).
Its all in the JED.

Try have a look here:
extensions.joomla.org/extensions/access-...urity/authentication
extensions.joomla.org/extensions/access-a-security
extensions.joomla.org/extensions/communi...ware/user-management
extensions.joomla.org/extensions/access-a-security/captcha

Coming back to this very old thread, I just wondered if Kunena 1.6 has a feature like this? I don't want to spend my time moderating every single post, but I need to be able to approve the first few posts of a new user to assure they are a legitimate use and not just posting spurious amounts of spam.

Cheers,

Phil

Is there an update on if this functionality is being considered?

I also need very much to have this added as a standard feature. Like others have stated, I have members register and then post SPAM. I'd like to have control over this to have the first x many forum messages be moderated.

Kunena is an awesome forum for Joomla and I truly love it. But I feel it lacks in some of the SPAM controls. We need these tools to better protect our members from SPAM.

Please add this functionality.

I am getting flooded with useless users who are posting nonsense on my messageboard. Is there any way I can moderate users before they can post on my board - I'm getting sick of deleting users everyday and not being able to stop spam posts before they are listed...any help would be great - here is my board site:

install registration validator 2, then just block the email domains and your problem will be halved.
