Depending on the version of Joomla that you use, you can use ReCAPTCHA with Joomla's account registration procedure. Instructions for use are given in How do you use Recaptcha in Joomla?

Perhaps the best way to protect your forum from spam is to charge people a subscription fee to join your site and, when only after they have paid that fee, then allow them to use your site?

I wonder if there's money to be made from that? Perhaps I should create a website called www.spam-posters-forum.com , charge people $1 to join the site plus $7 per to post as much spam as they like on the forum for one week, and let them do what they like? :lol: :whistle:

Please read the topic User registration and/or general login issues .

Hi -

is there a plugin/addon or setting in kunena that can stop users from posting spam link try a period of time.

for instance... only allow users to be able to post hyperlinks if they X days old or they have more than X posts???

If you find one please share your findings. I brought this up also in the past and think it would be a great idea. I searched but to no avail.
