0 Erza Posted September 26, 2015 Share Posted September 26, 2015 Install the cleantalk anti-spam plugin. It's free for a period, then you have to pay once for a year (not expensive) but it works. I had spammers on my board too until I installed cleantalk. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If you are smart, you use CleanTalk. I'm not just suggesting this because it's a fun thing to do, I'm suggesting it because I had to deal with spam bots pming people on my board, and I gave CleanTalk a shot and ever since I had it installed, I haven't had a single spam bot sign up.Yes it's not free, but it's only $8 for a whole year.https://cleantalk.org Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
