I've tried looking at all the comparisons and my heads going around
I presume Mollom is the favoured one for full on spam?.. any thoughts (forunately no spam troubles as yet, touch wood, as only registered users can post, and they can only do so live once they had a comment approved already) - I know it'll probably need to come but I have a bit of time before deciding
What I think I need, for now, is more a user management module, the site in question does not have a large (legitimate!) sign up rate as it's small and local, and those spammer email addresses/user names stand out a mile ;) so while potential spammers have been able to register they have not posted because I've been able to block them before they can, users cannot post "live" until they've had one comment "approved" and so far that's working a treat for the public facing side - however then I need to deal with the users, the list is too large to deal with manually anymore plus I'm fed up doing it ;) - I've been deleting them manually and adding the access DENY masks, both IP and email in some cases, into the core "Access Rules" module and this is becoming like a full time job - so I'm really just looking for a user management module I think, - anything where I can ban by IP/email at the click of a button or one which is able to accept a text list update say from the likes of "Stop Forum Spam".. any ideas.. Oh & PS the module must be Actively maintained (I dinna hae time to patch and I never like to touch core code ever, this a voluntary site and someone may need to take over from me eventually!)
