Nothing is entirely safe from spam. If there was something then everybody would be using it 
phpBB and vBulletin are the two big players for free PHP forum software. They, and everybody else, have tools to help combat spam.

I noticed a scary report that some miscreant has developed ransomware for wordpress sites, attacking open source, now i have seen it all
I am going to evaluate wordpress, see what it can do from the basic package. Worst case is I nuke it and go back to the old ways.

WordPress is one of the most vulnerable PHP applications out there. Mostly because it's so easy for people who have no idea what they're doing to write plugins for it.Vegan wrote:I noticed a scary report that some miscreant has developed ransomware for wordpress sites, attacking open source, now i have seen it all
