I updated the quickstart repo to remove nprogress
NodeBB not protected against "bot registration"
-
hi !
it seems my forum is attacked by someone creating 1 account /hour or more
http://www.cryptofr.com/users/latest
as you can see, there is weird pseudo & fake email
could you add a Captcha or something else to register only "humans" ?
-
Personally, I use this: https://github.com/akhoury/nodebb-plugin-spam-be-gone
Open your terminal and run:
npm install nodebb-plugin-spam-be-gone
Activate it, restart NodeBB - then fill it in with an Akismet key, a Project Honeypot Key, and a Recaptcha Key.
Seems to catch almost everything.

@ffmad Please let us know if any bots end up getting through spam-be-gone. It's worked well for those who are using it, but sometimes some still get through.
There's no defence against manual spammers from asia though

i will.
Something weird appeared since i've installed the plugin :
i can't see anything
-
@ffmad, I saw this on your homepage. Sorry, I do not know French
I would guess to clear your browser's cache.

i have done that immediatly after seing the bug

-
@ffmad, works fine for me. Appears to be just you. Try clearing your cache and reconnecting.

what do you see in this page ?

@Ted said:
Hmm try disabling the plugin.
Did you activate features without inserting an API key?
i've activated only the captcha api
-
I'm unsure, as I've never only ran just the Captcha API. Disable the plugin and see what happens next.
-
You've restarted NodeBB too?

There is also a registration question plugin that adds a custom question on the registration page. I found that in conjunction with spam be gone works really well.

Hi, same problem with my nBB.
spam-be-gone installed.
I'm not familiar with honeypot and I don't find obvious the way to obtain a Key.
Is it possible to have some tips for that one ? -

Is it possible to have some tips for that one ?Sign up for an account, then click this link, it will take you to a captcha form, enter the captcha form, and you'll get a 12 character access key, put that into the Honeypot settings in the plugin.
