Well, concerning your question in the above post on how to deal with spam, well one way i know you can use to deal with these spammers or scammers whatever you call it, is by making use of a captcha, that way it is hard for them to bypass it

Recaptchas or Hcaptchas eliminate most of the spammers or bots that post non sense and trash comments. Nowadays Hcaptchas serve better than recaptchas.

Try to use captchas, security questions. There was actually another thread that was so expansive (contributions from poster and readers alike). You should check it out and get more information

I do not use wordpress forums but I think using the manual moderation sounds great. It's a good idea . I use manual moderation for a channel I created too and it works perfectly for me. I will strongly recommend the manual moderation because you will have full control.

If you have a user generated content site, a forum, a discussion board, or even a blog, you will receive a lot of spam comments. This is very natural. If you allow people to register on your site and post comment, you become prone to spamming.

Are you talking about blocking spam comments on wordpress? I do not use wordpress, but wordpress must have an option to block spam comments. Have you searched for wordpress tools that might help you out?

Aside from that, forum users may witness firsthand how their forum's members are utilizing it correctly, giving them with the necessary information while also correcting their grammatical faults.
It's the greatest!

With automated systems, I usually have a question about a colour of a product during the registration process. But the problem is always dealing with humans that are spamming, it's important to deal with them quickly manually.
