Strengthen the security in your forum in regard to spam posting by way of Keyword checking.
The keywords can be anything. You can also block urls with this by entering www, http, .com or block a particular url(s). The possibilities are endless. Ideal to protect against rivals who might approach your users in private to join their forums.
Users whose post count is below the number set by the admin will be affected by this. You can also exclude a group(s) from the Spam Detector restrictions. To do so at the Group Permissions tab, under Forum Permissions setting, set Can bypass spam words restrictions to Allow and save the changes.
If an user posts normally and then he/she will try to edit his/her posts to place a spam keyword, then the post edit will not be saved but they will get an error informing them that their post content has a suspected spam keyword.
