Anti-spam measures
Angora Guestbook uses several techniques to fight spam :
- CAPTCHA and support for reCaptcha, to prevent robots to sign the guestbook
- Anti-flood, to prevent humans or robots to flood the guestbook with lots of void messages
- Random fields name : this will generate a unique form on each sign page opening, thus limiting robots from flooding
- Post moderations, so you can valide a post before being shown
- Auto-censor messages : posts containing any censored word will be automaticly unpublished
- Ban IPs : you can ban individual IPs or a range of IP, to prevent spammers from flooding the guestbook
Themes and styles
Angora Guestbook uses a template system for theming. It uses the light, yet powerful, XTemplate system.
You can modify how the posts are shown, the position of fields, etc... without modifying the core PHP files.
