Neil Patel at his blog has just recommended the below:
question is: how am I default set this param in xenForo?
thanks!
hey guys
just wanted to follow up on this: it worked finally.
Bad news is: I got banned from Google because of this sh**** spammers. I'm so furious.
I asked Google to review the whole thing after cleaning up
thanks again for your support

hi guys,
I'm running in such a very uncomfortable situation on my forum:
for some reason that I ignore, the SPAM button didn't do the real clean up so I'm hosting hundreds of useless spammy messages on my XF board (https://timelapsenetwork.com/forum/) and I don't know how to clean it up...
killed the whole via database - thank you so much
PS: unfortunately I cannot download your asset as it say Your ip: '188.65.1.1' seems to be proxy or vpn. if you believe it to be wrong you can contact us via contact form. :D that is hilarious, I am the spammer haha!
P.S. Anyone knows how to kill all the previous approval queue messages? I've got 2000+ and XF doesn't really make it is to bulk mark them as read / done / erase without going to each of them, unflagging the "Notify user for the decision" etc
thanks
hi @AndrewSimm or @Brogan
where is this stored at database level so that I can empty manually?
Doing it via XenForo UI is a pain (and requires me to even de-flag the notification message every time).
Plus, there is no bulk cleanup too
thanks
umh... yes they were :)
Now they're not, let's see how it goes (I have 2,000 messages already in the approval queue, sigh)
@JustinHawk thanks, didn't know about it - cool! I can see it is free for limited usage, I could give it a try! :)

hey guys
just checked now and unfortunately I got at least 20+ spam messages.
So for now:
- restrictions for the spammers are active as you saw
- all users have been banned + clean up since I have the forum
- captcha + questions is active
+ Tapatalk removed phisically
as you can see bots are...
