What I'd ideally like to see is for someone to create a StopForumSpam plugin that works with Khoros communities.  They do for a lot of other platforms.  https://www.stopforumspam.com/ then go to resources > mods & plugins.   If that were linked, new users would automatically be checked against their database and automatically blocked if listed.   It's not just Khoros specific.  I add to their database daily as do hundreds of other community managers.  ...

Hi @lilim I've seen similar:  Copy legitimate posts and repost with spam links.  I can't answer your question directly other than to tell you how I significantly reduce spam in our community, and it catches a lot of these types of spam.  It's being proactive.  It's takes about 15-20 minutes a day. First of all, this is only a reasonable approach if your normal community users use corporate email addresses, not gmail, yahoo, outlook etc.  Our users are enterprise business users so MOST of them do. I go to User Reports in admin every morning and search for new registrations from the day before.  It's usually about 2 pages long.   I then go through and look at each of the email addresses from gmail, yahoo, etc. and stick them into the Stop Forum Spam site search (don't dare post the URL or it may be treated as spam! 😉   )  If I find a match, I ban the users, often before they post anything.   If they have posted anything, I can quarantine it then ban them.  Since I've been doing this, the spam in our site has gone down quite a bit..   ...

@shaji We have 19.7 on production and 19.9 in stage and it works on both.  ... View more

@AnnaSvensson That TKB page used to be our main FAQ page, but then I incorporated it into the HELP pages with links etc.   If you look at the TKB it's really unorganized (and no real way to organize it).   Integrating it with the HELP area did work much better for us.   We don't have an introduce yourself topic.  Our community is more or less a technical support community for enterprise customers so, in our case, it would be superfluous.  Our users don't like "fluff", which they continue to tell us. 🙂 ...

@AnnaSvensson  Interesting.  We went the other way.  We had a TKB with our About Community, then I added all that content to the HELP section and it works much better.  Our super users and customers like it better.   It's easy to edit the HELP section and make it what you want.   The reason we went away from TKB is because I couldn't order the TKB to be how I want it displayed.  The most recent edited article was on top.  Also, I like the way the HELP section has expandable sub sections, which a TKB won't do.  ...
