Spams are everywhere.. postnuke sites are not spared from it either. So far nothing has been successful in stopping it, but, have seen so many ways of controlling it even to the extent of setting the mods/site for registered users only. I too have some few sites on postnuke and most of the spams that i have come across are on COMMENTS / USER REGISTRATIONS (there could be others too).. just from a laymans point of view if the COMMENTS are initialised on succesful entry of some word or letter .. i think a lot of spam could be controlled.
Bot Registrations has been controlled using dpCAPTCHA but it takes a while to get around cos the letters/words are difficult to inteprete.. i tried the SPECIFIC word entry on new registrations that could be set default on POSTNUKE 7.6.4 and it works great for now.
My suggestion for developers/coders would be a CAPTCHA thing for all comments.. and something that comes built in with the new POSTNUKE versions. Thank you all for what has been contributed and will be contributed. It has been rocking my sites.
Best wishes.

My suggestion would be to use EZComments in combination with the Akismet module. Add Bad Behaviour to this and you're site will be well protected against spam (and not just comment spam). No need to inconvenience users.

Mark, are not those all your Modules...
But as always Mark is right, capchta can be annoying as well cause problems with accessibility.

I personally find captchas very frustrating and I'm far less likely to contribute much to a site which uses them heavily. IMHO, other solutions are far, far better.

Nothing wrong with a bit of self-advertising! The very reason why I implemented both of these into PN was to deal with spam on my own site.
