"Anoymous" user posting spam was created by xreliable
I have the 5.1 nightly build 5.1.0-RC5-DEV from about a week ago, and getting spammed by "Anonymous" but the profile of spam messages don't link to an actual profile. I have a stopforumspam API key setup in the Kunena config. In the Category Permissions public and guest do not have post or reply permissions.
Any ideas on dealing with this? Known problem?

When I said "spam" I meant forum spam not email. Do you want me to send you something else?

The name Anonymous you get only, if you allow anonymous posting for registered users, or you have public write access, and the guest choose this name.
Login as normal registered user and check, whether it's possible to post anonymous in this category.

hm.. Kunena places the name Anonymous only then, when anonymous posting for registered users is allowed, and the user let the field for the name empty. Then you have also not a link to the profile, all personality data are removed from a anonymous post.
But only then, if anonymous posting is allowed.
Therfore two questions: Are this spam posts advertising for somethings, or are this posts related to the topics? And are you the only Admin on your page, or have other peoples also backend access?

These are spam advertising.
There are moderators but only front end. No joomla/kunena administrator access other than myself.
