Dear all, we are using the Web Wiz forum since quite a while and were very happy with it. Since a few weeks we are bombarded with spam posts. Until now we could handle this manually but now we are just overwhelmed and I fear that our forum will lose credibility.
I am running also a Joomla forum and there we could include a module which would check the IP addresses of a new user. If this IP address was blacklisted, the user could not register.
Is there a similar possibility for the WebWiz forum?
Or any good idea what we could do under the current situation?
I had changed the flood control settings but there were still many spam posts.
Therefore I have suspended the registration of new users.
As this forum is very active we need to find a good spam-blocking solution soon.
Your help is highly appreciated.
