"Hey guys, need some help here. I'm running a server and it's getting pummeled by spam bots. Anyone know of any easy plugins or tools that can help me detect and block these annoying bots without having to dive too deep into the code?"

"Yeah, I've been using ModSentry for a while now and it's been a game-changer. Automatically blocks spammers and keeps my server clean. Highly recommend giving it a try"

"Hey OP, I've had success using ModSecurity to block spam bots on my servers. It's a bit more involved, but you can also use rules from plugins like Wordfence to help filter out malicious traffic. Worth checking out if you haven't already"

"Hey OP, I've had some experience with this. You might want to check out 'StopForumSpam' or 'Mollom' for easy plugins that detect and block spammers. Both of 'em have a good track record and are relatively easy to set up."

"Just installed and been testing the Bad Behavior plugin on one of my servers, been working like a charm. Blocks a bunch of suspicious IPs and reduces spam significantly. Easy to set up too, would recommend giving it a shot."
