according to me researching on this topic i found that . There is an anti-spam plugin and you can built specific forum permissions by making use of SMF . Of the two products which are stated here, I can make out that SMF will prove to be the closest to vBulletin and phpBB in terms when you consider robustness and configuration options. in this , You will be able to have an alternative of easily customizing the registration text, and the features are really awesome. so showing the result i will tell you that when you make a comparison of these products, I found SMF to be my choice at this time.

i can make out some possible solution across for this one as i heard a lot about bbPress over the years and I figured i will make a try for this one. i found the installation part to be easy but after that I was not able to find bbPress to be more powerful when we make comparison with SMF. in addition to this , i would like to say that emailing section i cam e across was functional right out of the box, and there is a human-anti-spam plugin which people generally like . but i am going with SMF as it will serve me a better option than this.

i do had issues concerning with bbPress, and additional to this the very limited # of available plugins, was the lack of an ability to regulate forum permissions. On almost every board I have performed each work , but having some control over forum access has been a serious case . we can consider a example in this, I don’t wish for people posting in my “Rules and Announcements” forum and I do occasionally like to limit posting in some forums to certain types of users
