Sticky How to protect my forum from spam

The 1.6 RC1 version also has no built in Captcha system and I'm not keen to load another extention to manage it. It should be a built in system with Kunena like the 1.5 versions had.

With K1.6, you have just to install a plugin in Joomla! to have captcha, this plugin ca be used in others places than Kunena, a little doc about it : docs.kunena.com/index.php/How_to_proper_...aptcha_in_kunena_1.6

Im running Kunena on two of my sites www.charllaas.com and www.orthokcompany.com .

On www.OrthoKCompany.com we have a open section for the public to ask questions and a 'closed' section for members only.

On www.CharlLaas.com we have a complete 'open' board for members of the public to ask technical questions without having to become members of the site.

Thus in both cases I can't use the registration process to block spammers. For this reason I just need a simple Captcha system built into Kunena (option was available with K1.5) to block out 'Bots' and other automated spamming systems.

charl follow the link that xillibit posted above and that will do what you are asking...

Thanks will do

• Security

• Spam protection system = yes/no

The description of this parameter is:

Antispam and antibot CAPTCHA system On/Off

I assume this may be a carryover from Fireboard. I'm also assuming that, once upon a time, there may have been a plugin or extension that interfaced with Fireboard (or perhaps there were plans to enable such a feature before Fireboard development stopped) to provide the CAPTCHA processing.

As far as I can tell, the above setting has no effect in Kunena. Perhaps someone can confirm that this is intentional.

On the subject of documentation about the spam protection system setting, see #4735 .

Thanks you for the post.
