- Captcha (visitor-verification / spam prevention): May be enabled in the Access/Security section.
- Spam: Report messages as spam from the Message Manager. Our system keeps these for continual training and research on spam prevention.
- Author-expressions: Found in the Display Settings area, expressions allow people a new field to type an expression. Try it in your forum!

Note: Disabling HTML is really a tool for those times that the message manager view
is disturbed by a post in such a way that you can't delete it. In general it's
safe to have HTML enabled because VoyForums blocks scripts and many other potentially
disruptive HTML "features".
If you are having a problem deleting messages in the Message Manager: Try temporarily
disabling HTML in the Display Settings -> HTML Options section. Disabling HTML in your
messages, subjects, and author/names will allow your safe viewing and deletion of messages.

We are working on many solutions to combat spammers who abuse our system.
Spamming, mass posting, and broadcast posting are against the Terms of Service of VoyForums, and
an abuse of our service and systems. We take the problem very seriously.
We have had various security
measures in place for many years to protect you and your visitors from
abusers, but many spammers still get their messages through -- however,
they should be harmless messages aside from causing the unwanted behavior
of your computer (popping up messages, redirecting your browser to other
webpages, etc.) They are not viruses or trojans. Nevertheless, we are
still hard at work on designing and programming solutions to keep your
forums free from spam, script attacks, etc. Please bear with us while we
work.
If you have any questions, please email us at .
Sincerely,
VoyForums Management
