Thank you for the reply ksthree. I don’t mean to sound stupid, but why would problems with people (and spambots) posting junk on my site be different with a forum? Is there something about a forum that makes it inherently more secure than a blog?
Maybe I’m not understanding the differences between the capabilities of an “author” on a WordPress blog and a “participant” on a forum. When I look at the bbPress and WordPress documentation on the respective user roles and capabilities they seem to be very similar. I’m unclear as to how the user experience is different between these roles and why one would be more susceptible to people posting junk and spambots. Any clarity provided will be greatly appreciated.
