Comments for images - spam prevention

1. offizieller Beitrag

    I am getting a lot of hits by bots who try to spam my page via all possible forms. reCaptcha is of little use for non registered users and seems they just submit the form without any frontend validation.

    So - big question - is there any setting I have overlooked in the Joomgallery configuration which restricts the length of the comment and which allows to blacklist words?

    Hi,

    well, reCaptcha 2.0 can be used in the JoomGallery comment function via plugin. But i can't say how well reCaptcha 2.0 protects against spam.

    No, the integrated comment function of the JoomGallery does not offer such functions.

    Instead of the integrated comment function of the JoomGallery you can alternatively use e.g. JComments in JoomGallery. JComments offers many more settings and also has additional protection features to protect you from spam.

    We offers a plugin and a module for the integration with JComments in our downloads.

    Thanks, I am usually trying to keep the code light and not implement any additional components which add a lot of heavy code to the site.

    What I am looking for is just very simple feature, adding a limit to the comment size and adding a comma separated list of blacklisted words, e.g. most spam adds links to their sites, tries to sell generic viagra or other stupid stuff. So will just add that to my code and get those spammers off my site.
