Spammers like crazy?!?

[Reycer]

Ok all, I am getting spammers like crazy. ON ALL of my forums. I am using 3.8.1 and my styles seem to be up-to-date. My registration settings are set appropriately. Is anyone else having spamming problems?

Am getting none but i use a few mods to stop this happening :erm:

Which ones? I am willing to try anything at this point.

Using a random question such as "2 - 1 =" isn't going to offer any protection from spam bots.

Well reCAPTCHA? is a must
and vMail - Verify Mail before registration. (https://vborg.vbsupport.ru/showthread.php?t=201466)

They both work great for me bro :up:

don't have any idea why I didn't have re-CAPTCHA enabled. It is now though. Thanks guys.

i used to get 30 to 40 spammers a day, now maybe 1 a week or two. I use it on my 3.8.1

I've found if you use questions targeted to your niche, these do in fact help. :up:

If your site is about spaceships, post a question asking about rockets. :up:

My site's question makes me lol each time i read it...

"What is the fifth word in this question?"

Anyways, I added that, blocked some e-mail addresses that only spammers use (.ru and so forth) and I've been bot/spam free

ok fixed all of that, the HTML Validator shows no errors, CAPTCHA is on, but I am still getting them. Had one register last night.
