@Pedro said in Forum/NodeBB bot to welcome new users + security features (Anti spam etc):
This is a great suggestion, and I have been thinking about something along these lines as well. I will bring this up at my next meeting already and see how feasible it is considering the team's overall tasks. Feel free to contact me in private about this. :)
Great :)
I saw this elsewhere and liked it, because the bot also included some kind of optional tutorial on how to use the forum and post correctly (how to create links and to use code tags properly) in addition to 2-3 mandatory actions which are needed to verify that you are not a bot yourself :D
And I believe @SGaist already answered your other question.
Regarding the spam/anti-bot prevention I thought more of the AKISMET false-positive message which currently prevents many users from posting code snippets.
Feels like there must have been a change in the settings lately.
