How to disallow posts in the forum based on some words in the content
justchecking - August 10, 2008 - 18:09
Hi Drupalites,
My site is being bombarded by marketers/spammers who keep posting junk posts on my forum. I would like to have a facility whereby I can block posts based on certain words appearing in them.
You may say I can block the user who is posting junk, but then they will register as someone else. So only option it seems to me is either to moderate each post before it appears in the forum or just automatically delete any posts that have certain words in them.
thanks.

you probably want to look at
you probably want to look at http://drupalmodules.com/module/workflow-wordfilter and http://drupal.org/project/spam
however, effective spam management generally takes a multipronged approach. I would probably use a combination of wordfiltering and captcha.

I installed spam modules and
I installed spam modules and while trying to configure, I cannot see where to actually enter the word I want to filter and delete all posts if someone uses it in their posts.
It seems now I need to also install another module spam_tokens. Is that right ?
thanks.
