Hello,
My forum went live a couple of months ago but I have had a fair number of spam posts. I know many forums implement a number of banned words that, when used, force the poster to change their post. Whereas I know people would just use different punctuation signs to get around this, it would hopefully annoy bulk posters enough to lessen the spam somewhat so I'm not spending all my time deleting posts and posting the same reasons over and over again as to why (I like to say why I'm deleting a post instead of just blindly doing it).
It's been quite difficult for me to think of all the words I should ban, I know a couple of drugs related to intercourse and some other socially offensive words, but is there a list I can just copy and paste into the forum control panel?
Thanks.
H.
