Hi there,

Can someone tell me what to do to protect my forum from hackers, spammers etc?

It's a football site so there's a high risk.

I installed fakeadmin and askimet so far.

Kind regards

If you put them all into action, you should be pretty well covered. I've always used all of the steps I mention in the article and have not once been hacked *touch wood*.

few minutes back someone posted some simple & effective tips in brief here ...
