Why do All the spammers prefer using the groups to spam just after signed up? They mostly create groups which has long meaningless words, with(out) a few pictures in, which seem as if they are created automatically, by a bot. I can't understand this, but they do. Could a reCaptcha plugin, on the process of creating groups, prevent us from those spammers? Does anyone work on such a captcha project for elgg groups plugin? or Any idea?

You must log in to post replies.You can set the groups plugin so that only site administrators can create groups.
In the latest version of the Group Tools plugin it's also possible to create a 'concept' group. This way the normal users can create a group, but it still needs to be approved by a Site admin.
Thanks Jerome.
