Investigate options for shielding from spam #78

Closed RCheesley closed 3 months ago

RCheesley commented 5 months ago

Today I had to block around 75 accounts which had been created with spam in the about, and a link to an external spam website.

I think we need to be more proactive about preventing spam registrations.

I noticed the discussions here: https://github.com/decidim/decidim/discussions/8239 - maybe some of those could be implemented?

There's also https://www.projecthoneypot.org/ which we used with Admin Tools in Joomla to good effect. Could we maybe check against their existing list?

Could we use a tool like Akismet?

Closing this as we now have the spam protection tools enabled.
