Forums created on chainBB.com are indexed within the dedicated infrastructure tailored specifically for this purpose. No need to setup your own server or run your own software.
Moderation
Tools to let you keep the forum free of spam and on-topic.
All forums include a basic set of moderation tools that can be used by the forum owner to keep the forum on-topic and free of spam. Moderation activity is transparent and exists on the blockchain which can be reviewed by anyone.
