Unwanted posts!

(1/4) > >>

scuc:
As a newbie, I somehow got a lot of Guests hitting my site!!!  I restricted it but before I did, there is a LOT of stuff that was 'robot' posted on some of my boards by folks I don't even know - I how do I prevent this form happing again?  Also, how do I get rid of all the posts they put up?
It's a shame some folks have nothing better to do with there lives than crap like this!  Who would ever buy anything they are offering???

Thanks in advance for the help.

Orangine:
Posting open for guests will always end up with a mess

scuc:
Do you have any idea of how to fix this?

Orangine:
If you really want this open, then you need heavy moderation. Also, pick up anti spam mod such as BadBehaviour.
Ideally you could filter out all messages that contain url (dunno if there's a mod for that), as most bots is trying to post spammy urls.

scuc:
All I want to do is 'close' that option and delete what has already been posted - I DO NOT WANT GUEST TO DO OR SEE ANYTHING!
