Botsd, Bots and more bots

To the @admins. Appologies, but I have just reported about 10 bots in need of a band and delete posts ( bearing in mind none of them have made any posts)

All 10 7 day leader board entries are bots, 9 out of the 10, 30 day leader board entries are bots.

Wen you get a minute can you turn on some of the following

1. Tighten Membership Approval

Disable Instant Membership Approval: Change your settings to manual approval. This allows you to inspect profiles before they join. Go to Settings > Plugins > Instant membership approval: OFF.
Enable Membership Questions: Require new members to answer questions about their bio, location, or intent. If they fail to answer or provide spammy answers, ban them immediately.
Check for "High Risk" Flags: Look for the "high risk" spam warning in new membership requests, a feature Skool introduced to identify suspicious accounts early.

2. Restrict Activity & Content

Raise Required Levels for Posting: Stop bots from spamming the community feed to earn points. Restrict posting to Level 2 or 3. This forces them to earn points through organic engagement rather than spam.
Set Chat Restrictions: Limit direct messages to a higher level (e.g., Level 3 or 4) to protect members from spam DMs, which is a common tactic for bots.
Use the New AutoMod: Utilize Skool's spam detection system to auto-flag suspicious content and quarantine spam accounts without needing manual review.

3. Active Moderation and Cleanup

Ban and Delete Activity: If a bot gets through and posts, use the Ban and Delete Last 7 Days of Activity feature. This removes them and all their spam posts instantly.
Report Profiles: Report spammers to Skool’s moderation team so they can be removed from the platform entirely, preventing them from jumping to other communities.
Enforce Community Rules: Clearly state in your community guidelines that point farming or unsolicited DMs will lead to an immediate ban.

that woulkd be great. we are being invadsed bu useless bots that are not making any value to the community. And getting my goat.
