Spammers are spamming my forum

[fabianno0572]

Hello there,

It’s been a few weeks since I didn’t monitor my forum and I found out that there are many spammers who are able to post topic in my forum by not registering as a member.

How to stop them by making only members to be able to post content?

[Laura]

Hello, to prevent spammers please try a captcha plugin like “No captcha recaptcha” using google, and delete any suspicious user from your user section ( usually weird email names are spammers )
And also use a security plugin like iThemes Security 🙂

Hello,
I know how to use captcha. The problem is, the user need not to register themselves to post in my forum. Why is this happening? I thought they should register then only they are able to post

[Laura]

Hello, for forum they need to register, can you share access so i can check it out? 🙂

Can you please answer in more detail? It is another one day wasted when you answer me like this.

If the users are invalid, why are they able to post in the forum?

My question is why could spammer post in my forum without registering. Please answer me straight to the question in detail.
