@robi I see NodeBB listed at the bottom of their plugin page, is one for Discourse in development?

@briankb-0 Not sure, check the plugins list for a ruby integration as I saw a couple for node.js.

In my (admittedly relatively limited) experience Discourse does a pretty good a preventing spam all by itself (e.g. newly reg'd users can't post links etc)
