Mollum Anti-Spam

Mollum provides a service that allows web sites to send visitor information to their database to compare them against known spammers, in order the help prevent your database from being clutters with bogus user registrations and forums, contact forms and more from being filled with garbage content.

Mollum is available in all packages.

One problem with any CMS that accepts user generated content via message forums, user registrations, article comments, contact forms or any number of other ways, is spam. There are so many automated crawlers that just follow links, find forms, inject data, leave comments to spam URL's all over and so much more it gets hard to control.

We have tried a few options to control spam on our Drupal platform, and the best we have found at stopping spam without getting in the way of legitimate users is also free, it's called "Mollum".

Mollum is a pretty impressive package that also requires an API from the Mollum spam control application. Once entered a plethora of options are available to select how spam is controlled with just about ever form on the site, with CAPTCHA and/or content scanning options, or, no protection at all.

In addition, Mollum provides some impressive reporting in the reports section of the administration pages to allow full monitoring of the effectiveness of the system.

Registering and being assigned API keys to activate the module on our platform is completely free of charge, and is very effective at not only protecting your web site from spam user registration and user input, but also protects the entire Club management Services system from bogus traffic and interference. It is highly recommended to enable this module.
