How do I prevent Guests from Posting on my forums

[AALBC]

I really hate to disable this feature, but spammers are inundating the site with spammy guests posts and I'm spending too much time deleting unapproved posts

I need to prevent Guests (non-registered users) from being able to post -- even it those posts must be approved first 

I simply can't figure out how to do this.

Thanks!

You can remove from the "guest" group in categories permission tabs the permission to create new topics and posts.

You should not allow guests to submit any content. Use instead "Post before register" feature:

Usergroups --> guest --> permissions

Glad to see you appear to have found the problem there. As mentioned by Sonya above, the post before register feature is the best way in which to get guests posting a subsequently registering, while preventing spam on the site
