Just wondering, I'm thinking of converting an alumni site to be Drupal based, but I noticed one of the example sites, crateralumni.com is heavily spammed. This would be one of my main concerns about switching. Is this common, and what possible solutions are available?
Thanks,
Brian



anti-spam measures
Look at adding some modules to prevent spam bots from posting, you might consider http://drupal.org/project/captcha, http://drupal.org/project/captcha_pack and http://drupal.org/project/mollom.
You also might head off the issue using Access Control combined with settings to control registrations and roles.
