I would love to hear perspectives on the pros and cons of banning vs deleting spam accounts.
As a newbie, I am confused on this subject.
Spam Control Options
-
nodebb getting many spam posts.
1- what plugins does the nodebb site use?
2- what should users install for better spam control?
-
@charles spam be gone plugin, of that, nodebb uses the honeypot database, and as of a few hours ago, akismet, the plugin also contains captcha (not worth using). There's also a Q&A plugin, but that wouldn't work here due to not everyone being fluent enough in English to fill out / understand the question.
-
Yes, as @a_5mith said, we unilaterally recommend the spam be gone plugin.
Enabling Honeypot and Askimet on this plugin will stop the types of spam you're seeing on your forum.
-
nice! will try it.
maybe docs https://docs.nodebb.org can include these recommendation for others to use.
-
There was discussion of bundling it with the install, so stay tuned there.
