Every forum is protected by filters shared by the whole platform, set by the team.
Platform protections
- An anti-bot check on forms (registration, guest posts, contact…); it needs JavaScript enabled in the browser.
- A Stop Forum Spam lookup and a risk score at registration.
- A cap on registrations from the same internet connection.
- Word and email address filters on published content.
- A minimum number of posts before adding links to a post, a signature or links in the profile.
Content refused by these filters is not published, and the person sees an explanation.
What you set
- The account activation method and the New member post limit (see Member registration).
- The permissions of the Newly registered users group, for example the “On Moderation Queue” role (see Groups and permissions).
- Word censoring, in the Posting tab of the administration control panel.
- Bans, in the Users and Groups tab or in the moderator control panel.
