Sticky How to protect my forum from spam

I am using a joomla + community builder + kunena combo but i am getting alot of spam posts in the kunena forum. How can i fight this? I get like 10 spam posts every day and deleting them 1 by 1 is really a pain.

Also is it possible to remove all posts from a specific user in just few clicks?

Thank you

hey i know how you felt i use to have this same issue all the time until i found this plugin on the joomla extensions site it works with jomsocial, community builder, kunena and normal joomla registration ive not seen a bot on my forum since



it works by cross refrencing the ip on registration with sites like stopforumspam.com and if the ip or email upon registration matches up it will just display registration failed or you can tell the plugin to do custom things.

this is a magnificent piece of work

Is there a plugin with captcha for community builder? FREEEEEEE!!!!! W the open source!

why would you want a captcha plugin this one is free open source and doesnt even need captcha. although can be easyly modified to add in captcha www.captcha.net/

I'm old school, we manually approve each user. Anything suspicious and we bounce them. If we get an email from the user asking why then we know they are OK. Little more work yes but keeps us clean.
