Using manual approval of new accounts has significantly reduced the
forum spam. In Mahara 19.04 it is also possible to moderate any forum
posts.

I'm closing this bug report for the time being as we are not going to
take any further action at this stage. A number of the ideas that Aaron
had in regards to reducing spam on a site are still valid and can be
taken up again if needed at a later stage.

Title:
  Spam protection possibilities

Status in Mahara:
  Opinion

Bug description:
  Mahara gets a steady annoying flow of forum spam. On a typical day
  it's 5 to 10 messages. This isn't a whole lot, but since the number of
  messages on mahara.org's forums is fairly low, this makes up about 40%
  of the messages each day.

  I'm opening this bug to explore options to deal with this issue.
