Are XenForo Forums Spammed a lot?

[blok601]

Currently my MyBB forums are spammed with horrible stuff that I would rather not make my users go through. Besides the other reasons I am going to switch over, this is a big one. Are XenForo Forums spammed a lot?

Probably the same as forums using other software.

We do have a suite of tools to deal with spam though.

After installing this add-on we've received no spam what so ever - works wonders: https://xenforo.com/community/resources/tpu-detect-and-block-spam-registrations.2973/

+1 for this. Once properly configured (takes a couple weeks of spotting the stragglers) catches 100% of the spam, once a month i get 1 or 2 moderated maybes. Never had a false positive reject.

Plenty of spam is manually done now. Meaning anti spam methods such as captcha's dont work for crap.
