@graciegregory Here is a suggestion of spam rules.

Spam Filter Rules Examples:

  • Limit the number of posts that can be posted after registration
  • Simple title analysis (removing numbers) will reveal the similarity percentage to be high (60%+)
  • Auto ban or disable posting when more than 5 articles are published in less than an hour
  • Check age of account vs post rate
  • Add re-captcha to the publishing action
