Hi @kgordish,
sorry, for the late reply i do not check the ratings often.
Please note that since version (probably) 1.0 we have “moderate” and “requires” params for the [adverts_add] shortcode.
If you use the [adverts_add] like
– [adverts_add requires="read"]
then only a user with “read” capability (by default any logged-in user) will be able to post ads.
– [adverts_add moderate="1"]
then Ads will be saved as pending and will need the Administrator’s approval before going live.
You can of course also use both params at the same time, the full list of [adverts_add] params you can find in the documentation here https://wpadverts.com/doc/allow-users-to-post-ads-adverts_add/
Additionally, we have in the StartUp package a reCAPTCHA integration that will allow you to prevent bots from posting spam.
