bamwar i think is my favourite. but then again thats probably because of all the ‘hey BAMWAR’ ‘try it’ ‘BAMWAR, RARR’!!!
so think its in my mind so much. i did check it out. its just a MMORPG from what i saw
While it’s amusing to see how relaxed you are, I certainly wouldn’t be in this situation.
There should either be an approval process for new accounts, or limit new accounts to only view topics until after a 72-hour period. Two ways to prevent spam.
Ideally, recaptcha would be nice when signing up, but it seems Discourse doesn’t have that functionality
I also have problem with spammers before and reCaptcha solved all of my problem . Just put recaptcha on registration page and not allow guest to make posts. I have experience with php, not Ruby, so can’t help with integration , but hope so this will be ease for intergration : https://github.com/ambethia/recaptcha/
Some time ago I used stop forum spam db ( http://www.stopforumspam.com/ ) for my old forum + key captcha ( https://www.keycaptcha.com/ ). These services are free and surprisingly very good.
Results: from more than 50 spam topics everyday to 1-2 for a month.
Currently I use Akismet for my blog, it is better and don’t require any captcha for registration. But it is free only when there is no much visitors. For this forum it will be pretty expensive.
