hi @pfaffman, do you have any advice for managing spam? Today has seen a heavy day of flagging and deleting spammers who are somehow making there way in to the forum more than usual. Thank you
If it’s a huge flurry and they are obvious when you look at the profile, then you can turn on must approve users
.
If you don’t have maxmind database keys (that will let you see where their IPs are) you should get those.
And you don’t (I’m assuming that you’re connected to @Asher_Densmore-Lynn). See Configure MAXMIND for reverse IP lookups - Sysadmins - Discourse Meta and get me DISCOURSE_MAXMIND_ACCOUNT_ID
andDISCOURSE_MAXMIND_LICENSE_KEY
(a PM here is probably safe enough). If Asher could confirm that you’re connected with the site, that would be good )
Stephen is, Jay – thanks! I had no idea MaxMind had a free tier or I’d’ve done this a while back. I’ll send that PM momentarily.
hey there @stephenwaite if your dealing with a lot of spam on your forum for discourse may I suggest you going on to your admin dashboard and turn on this feature
its an experimental feature but it should work
