Re: Newbie; Security and Traffic
For security purposes, you should limit guest and bot permissions. Guests are everyone who is not logged in. Bots scan the page for search engines like Google and others. What you don't want these groups to see and store should be given "NEVER" permission (forum roles).

FWIW - spam bots are NOT a security issue, they serve no other purpose but to join up and post garbage (spam) all over your board.

No one can register at the moment anyway so you don't need any spam protection yet.
