While it is easy to install free forum software on a web hosting account, it is very tedious and time consuming to control spam accounts and spam posts. What is the best way to control the spam, do you use plugins or other tools?

Good captcha system, post and topic review before publishing. But that all cost money.

Do you know how this forum is controlling spam? The admin has ensured that there are almost no spammers posting on this forum.

You have to use StopForumBot software. Most of admins has efficient results with it.

Yes installing bots is the best way to control spam. You can also enforce strict sanctions like banning against serial spammers. This will help secure your forum.

This is true and I hope that it continues that way. The platform has no bugs at all

Keep the account under moderation for at least 30 posts and 30 days, most of the spammers do not have that kind of patient, and will leave the forum.
