Starting to receive spammy posts that you don’t like? You can enable Spam Prevention on your community. This service will review every incoming post from registered users. If the service suspects the post contains spam it will be sent to the spam folder in Control and won’t be published on the community.
How To Enable Spam Prevention
- You have to be logged in as an Administrator
- Go to Control → Settings → Spam prevention.
- Check the Enabled button
- Hit Save changes, and you’re done: spam prevention is now enabled on your community.

Note:
- We recommend that you frequently check the spam folder in Control and unmark any valid posts that the spam filter marked as spam by mistake (also, did you know that content that isn’t spam is referred to as ham?).
- Members whose posts are marked as spam by the spam filter aren’t automatically banned. This is in case the spam filter accidentally marks a valid post that isn’t actually spamming. We recommend occasionally checking the spam folder and banning these members.
- We use the services of Akismet to protect your community from spam. All data sent to Akismet is anonymized. By enabling spam prevention you agree to the Terms of Use of Akismet.
