Spam fighters = Couldflare + Moderators + intelligent human verification / JavaScript registration forum instead of html form.
the anti-spam/bot javascript forms pretty much confuses every spam bot out there.
Cloudflare + Moderators clean up your site traffic and maintain good house keeping.
For many this may be cliche but the fact of the matter is the average web owner doesn't employ these free tools.
The biggest tool in your arsenal is a CDN with anti-spam features like cloudflare and your second line of defense your moderators/admin/loyal users.
Nothing, in terms of software, is going to really stop a person from signing up on a site and spamming it with advertising garbage or trolling. BUT.. lower the incentive for them to do this and you'll lower the frequency. The spam on your site because they believe they have an economic benefit if they do.
One of our jobs as admins is to figure out ways to lower or diminish that perceived incentive.
Which is not always easy.. lol.
