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.
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.
