This mod has been working very well for us. We had to switch from another anti-spam mod due to our upgrade to SMF 2.0.18. I like th stats that we get weekly . The only small downside it tweaking the settings so that slightly less posts are denied, as CleanTalk is more aggressive than the prior software. But in the end, better safe than sorry.
Thank you!
We do our best to keep all spam away.

I just installed this new update and now I'm getting internal 500 error so I contacted my host and they said it is because of this mod. Here is the error they sent me from their end:

Hello.
We will investigate the issue and let you know the results.
It will take up to 2-3 business days.

2.34 works great now thanks! (Although you might want to remove 2.33 so no one else downloads it and it crashes there board) 8)

Hi sbartelski,

We just started using this service/mod. I am interested in the settings tweaking you found necessary. I do see a lot of rejected attempts to access the website - I am concerned that IP blocking is rudimentary as IP can be spoofed, changed by rebooting router etc. One person on a network creates a lot of spam .... all people on the network get blocked.

Thanks if you have time to answer,

Matthew
How will you make the world a better place today?

I used Clean Talk on a previous SMF Forum with great results, so I had to get it again for my new forum.  It definitely works and keeps me spam free. Well done to the team associated with this Mod, a job well done.

Indeed, it's a great mod. Here's hoping for an update for 2.1 RC4. :)

TurtleKicker, mcsee, thank you for your kind words!

We do not plan to issue a new release at the closest time. If you face any issues with 2.1 RC4 contact us via https://cleantalk.org/my/support/open

The problem is solved for the moment.
I just ran the upgrade from smf2.1.1 again. now there are no more errors.

Shades.

Mod site says this was last updated today, is that true cause it still says 2.36 and on Github it says Version 2.36 December 20, 2021? I didn't see any new reviews so just wondering thanks! ;)

We've been using CleanTalk antispam for the eight months and find it does an outstanding job of blocking spam and providing a very effective firewall. It's saved us countless hours.

Matthias

What is the best way to prevent spam?

I have been testing this for the last few months.
The questions are important for registration. They must not be in any spam database....
Then you are on the good side.

Have a look at this:

I've tried several methods to prevent spammers/spam on my forums with varying results. A couple weeks ago I started using the CleanTalk. So far, it's worked better than any other method I've tried. And it's easy to set up.
Thank you CleanTalk!

Cleantalk is a commercial service that has to make money with it.

Basically, there are always so-called bait offers there, which work well at first glance. At some point, they don't work so well anymore, or only if you pay a bit more for them.

Everyone has to decide for themselves whether that's okay. Especially if you get a good forum software for free and additionally mods for spamprotection.
