I am setting up our forum for people in our industry to network with one another and this is my first time working with a forum like this. I am just looking for a little advice. Generally speaking, should I allow users to edit and delete posts or should I limit them to creating new posts only?

Other than moving and renaming the database is there anything else I could/should do to try to protect our forum as much as possible from spammers?

Thanks!

I'd allow them to edit posts but not delete posts. Moving/renaming db has nothing to do with spamming... it just secures your (MS Access) database so that no one is able to locate/download it and compromise your password. As for protection against spammers, the forum system is already built to protect against spammers... no need to worry about that.
