Hey, thanks for making it so simple (noob proof)

Cool. Thx for the help guys, really appreciate it. Lol, I feel pretty stupid that this whole time all I had to was check a box to stop the spam. This has me wondering why more people don't choose to do this? Yes, you have to manually do something, but you end up having to manually delete...

I am not opposed to manual approval at all. How do I go about setting this up? I assume it's just an option in XF dashboard? Thanks for the replies.

OK.. I could really use some help with spam. It's frkn killing me right now. I've done a bit of research on the best installs to stop spam, and it seems people recommend Xen Util add on.. problem is, I can't even figure out how to install it. I'm sure it's simple, but I'm lost when I'm...

Ahh... yes sorry, of course it was my hosting... just got a bit panicked and thought it was xenforo as it was my only site that was down. Forgot that it was on a separate hosting account, also forgot to pay that account, lol.

Not sure what's going on, but I was never contacted by email, nor do I know why my account is suspended. I didn't even know my account could be suspended. Could anybody help me understand what's going on here... My forum is currently down, and I need to get it back up asap.

Hey, I got sidetracked from this thread and forgot all about it. @DBA: Great responses and tips man, awesome to see real conversion numbers and examples.. Thx for the share. I agree not only do I want to narrow down target audience on ads, but I'd want to get it as laser focused as possible...

Geez man... thanks for the extensive effort. I really appreciate it. And yes, it is version 1.1.3 So... all of this twitter/facebook/google plus gets you users or rankings or both? I think advertising on Facebook might be a good idea. Can you target specific groups?

Well, I'm not certain. Just purchased it about a month ago so i assume it's the newest version.

Hey, thanks for the informative reply man. But to hell with all that... right now I am getting BLASTED by spammers. I don't know what to do. I haven't taken any measures to stop this yet. No captcha or anything. It hasn't been a problem up until this point. Maybe here and there... but...

Yeah.. I remember reading your thread now about the CODforums... didn't you pay like 1k for that domain? I thought it was going really well?

Hey man, thanks for the reply. Well, the only reason I started a forum is because it is in a new and fast growing niche that doesn't really have a forum at all... so I guess we'll see. Mind if I inquire as to how you built up your successes? You buy any ads?.. I'm considering that at this...

I don't think Google even penalizes foe on page SEO. Keyword stuffing? Yes. That was panda. Even Matt Cutts recommends having good on page SEO. That's why the line is so confusing to me I guess. At the very least... you gave me a new movie to watch. lol. Never knew it existed.

I mean.. to be honest.. I would love to take that approach. I hat being overly analytical about such things, but it seems mandatory.

I guess I'm struggling to understand the line between black hat and white hat. So, when you build a site.. you do no KW research... no optimizing urls.. no optimizing titles/tags/h1-h3/etc?
