GoLightly's Forums have a page where non-registered visitors can send a message to the administrator (assuming your Forums are configured to be visible to non-registered users.) This page allows anyone on the web, even prior to signing in, to send a message to the community administrator. This is a useful form for legitimate visitor to ask the administrator a question about your community. Unfortunately spammers can find this form and send the site administrator spam.
To restrict non-registered users from emailing forum administrators through this Forums "Contact Us" page:
This allows administrators to continue to receive potentially useful/valid messages from users seeking administrative help, but also prevents automated spam bots from filling their inbox with thousands of unwanted emails. If an administrator wishes to disallow all non-registered users from sending *any* messages, select "No" from the drop down menu instead of "Yes, but Verify Image".
