Web Wiz Forums Anti-Spam Prevention

27 June 2012 - by Web Wiz Development Team

No SpamSpammers are a huge problem with forums these days with people in developing countries being paid to spam forums with links in order to try and increase search engine rankings for their employer's websites.

At Web Wiz, we understand that spam is a real issue with forums and have developed a range of anti-spam prevention measures and tools within the Web Wiz Forums software.

Anti-spam Prevention Tools available in Web Wiz Forums include:-

  • Checking with StopForumSpam’s list of known spammers to prevent spammers from registering
  • Configurable Spam Filter
  • Email Activation of Member Accounts
  • Post Approval by Admins or Moderators
  • IP Blocking
  • Email Address and Email Domain blocking
  • Post Flood Control to reduce the number of posts a member can make within a given time frame

In order to help Forum Admin configure Web Wiz Forums to prevent spam we have created the page below:-
