    Hi,

    Spammers are able to add pingbacks to my forum even though this is disallowed (in blog settings). So they are not logged-in users who are adding spam comments to a topic, but they are externally able to “comment” on the forum itself.

    My site is a dating site, so has a sub forum “Personals”

    The URL takes the form …

    domain/forums/forum/personals

    They can add pingbacks to this “Personals” sub-forum which display below (ie. outside) the forum as, for example …

    “3 Thoughts on Personals” :

    Pingback: (spam link)
    Pingback: (spam link)
    Pingback: (spam link)

    Any help would be appreciated in solving this.
    It’s not a new issue, has been on my site for several years.

    bbpress 2.6.9
    wordpress 6.0.9
    buddypress 10.6.4
