Anti-Spam is a page for configuring options to help prevent spam in your forum. You can set up various verification methods to make sure the new member is a human and not a bot.

Anti-Spam Verification

• Require verification on registration page - If this is enabled, potential new members must pass whatever verification methods as are required on the Registration page.
• Require verification on all guest searches - If this is enabled, guests must pass verification when they use the Search feature.
• Guests must pass verification when making a post - Guests with this number of posts or fewer, must pass verification to be able to post a message.
• Maximum number of recipients allowed in a personal message - Set the maximum number here. Note that users with permission to send newsletters are exempt from this restriction.
• Post count under which users must pass verification when sending personal messages - Users with fewer posts must pass verification.
• Number of personal messages a user may send in an hour - Admins and moderators are exempt.
