We are getting a lot of spam in our forums.

I traced a post back to the httpd access_logs

from the logs does it look like a script or a human ?



here is a access_log from my webserver.

Code:

It's actually in the admin, forums, permissions settings. You can turn off the ability for guests to post for each forum.
