Tips to prevent Spam in Forums

As Internet marketing has many facilities along with that it has some threats also which may affect very strongly on your business. Among many threats there is a threat of spam of which every webmaster is getting ruined.

Wikipedia has defined spam as "The abuse of electronic messaging systems (including most broadcast media, digital delivery systems) to send unsolicited bulk messages indiscriminately." In fundamental conditions its all those messages in form of email, forums, or even chat sessions that are not promoted or marketed in purpose of some individual promotional activities.

These spams are often confused with newsletters, or other such mailing programs. In Frequent times whenever you visit a website they ask you to register with them, these are not any kind of spams. Spams are often protected by CAPTCHA codes to prevent spams from the self generated software which actually crashes any website’s reputation.

Generally there are two types of Forum Spam

  • Forum Spam Bots
  • Human Forum Spam

 

The first one is really a dangerous one because it has no specific treatment for it, other than a little usage of CAPTCHA codes. Because these Spam bots are unable to read these CAPTCHA codes. Modifying to your registration forms is perhaps the next best thing after a captcha, and if it used in grouping with a registration form of users it can really make a difference while protecting the system against spams bots. Asking question to the registering users can also make a difference and make a very good analysis of spam and real users. If the user is a human then he/she will answer your question with ease and you may find the difference.
