Hello everyone,
My name is Tang,
I recently see one of my friend website and his forum was having a massive registrations non stop mins by mins, it was like days to hundreds of members. I'm kind of worried that this issue may happens to our forums, i wish to hear from everyone here.
Regards
Tang

Re: Forum Spam registers
Hi, I have never heard of a case like that here at Forumotion. If you are worried though, there are ways to prevent spam registration.
You can either set activation to:
=> Self: members must confirm their registration through email.
=> Admin: all new members must be approved by an admin. (Not recommended for high traffic forums)
These options can be found at:
1. Administration Panel (advanced mode)
2. Users & Groups Tab
3. Users options (on the left, under Users)

Hello,
What's your question exactly ?
To avoid this kind of situation, you can choose the registration by Admin confirmation only.
Admin Panel >> Users & Groups >> Users options >> New accounts activation >> Admin.
What's the URL of your friend's forum ?

Hi Leeloo,
Yes, but i'm just kind of worried now, even our forumotion looks strong. I hope our forum can stay away from this.
