Anti-spam settings (Captcha)

If you are noticing spam or suspiciousness registrations, comments or content on your site try enabling our anti-spam tools.  

When enabled a CAPTCHA (a random code) will be generated and must be re-entered by the user in order to submit the form they are using successfully. 

Enabling Anti-spam settings.

To enable Anti-spam settings, go to Settings -> Site Settings -> Anti-span settings (Captcha)

You can select to use Captcha for forms that are visible to the public, just members, or both.

Note that Anti-spam settings cannot be turned off for the public on certain pages like blogs, forums, send message form and subscription form.

Anti-spam settings on forms.

Any pages where Captcha is enabled will have a section called Security check at the bottom of form

A series of distorted random letters will appear. The user has to replicate them in the text box.

Some patterns may be very hard to distinguish. In those cases the user can either

• Click on the speaker icon and have the letters read to them
• Click on the refresh icon to get a new set of letters

Once they have entered the letters properly, they are taken to the next step. There is no limit to the number of attempts they can make.
