JoomlaWorks has gone to crap support. Thanks for everything. That's okay though, I found a great new Joomla CCK called Content Builder.
I just joined and it has been awful, is this s K2 support site or an underground promotion site for football.
I have downloaded Content Builder and K2, went the K2 route, may change my mind. Have you installed and had any thoughts on Content Builder?

To be honest, it's not Kunena's fault. Joomla! should offer "some" tools to prevent that.
Since that can't change anytime soon, we've decided to build our own solution - so we can make it public to others as well. This solution boils down to 2 things:
1. Prevent spammers from signing up in your site in the first place, with the use of massive spammer databases available for free (e.g. Bad Behaviour)
2. Prevent spammers who were not detected upon signup by using some basic text analysis before a comment or forum post in Kunena is added.
This will take about 2 weeks, so please bare with us until then.
