Internet forums are disappearing because now it's all Reddit and Discord. And that's worrying. (www.xataka.com)

I haven't run a BB forum for probably well over 15 years but in my experience the best thing was to just limit the ability to post for 24 hours after the account is being created (that makes getting caught and banned a bit more of a pain point because they have to wait 24 hours before they can do anything again) combined with just blocking Russian and Chinese IP addresses.

It's surprising how much rubbish that stops.
