One thing I did to help stop spam is just setup my community so only members can post

Not sure if you seen this but it is under settings. I think there is a max of 100 members but if you have 100 members actively posting you prob need some insane amount of HP to curate all of that 😅
No the limit is for mods/admins, you can have as many members as you want :)
Thank you for the correction! That is a pleasant surprise 😊
That's a great strategy, but how does someone request to be a member?
I actually have a community where only I can post.
I made a blog post for my community and just asked people to request membership in the comments.
Ah nice! That makes sense.
