Any good extensions which help prevent and fight spam?
I have recently had to disable my sign-up because we had bot sign-ups spamming the forum.
What are other flarum admins using?
Any flarum forum extensions to help battle spam?
Wellwisher There are quite a few extensions:
- Akismet
- FoF Ban IPs
- FoF Stop Flarum Spam
- FoF Spamblock
- FoF Disposable Emails
- Spam Prevention
- FoF reCAPTCHA
- Turnstile
- Mail Filter
I might forget some of them, personally I haven't tried them all, but in my experience Spam Prevention is the most complete (actually it has compatibility with multiple extensions like FoF Spamblock to automate some processes), it's worth to take a look and configure it in depth according to your needs, if you also use reCAPTCHA/Turnstile for account signups, in general you should notice an improvement.
Darkle would you know what flarum.org uses?
Wellwisher Quoting luceos, the current Spam prevention extension.
luceos Discuss has been running with this (and some other minor customizations like truncating the testing tag and refusing other tags in testing) for quite a while. We've fine tuned spam prevention to reduce the necessary effort with moderation.
Thank you for your insight and advice. I will make use of this extension too.
