Question about Spammers

[Stormraven]

I have a serious problem on my website. I keep getting bots signing up and spamming my site to hell. I have an image coptcha on the register page and a question on registration, but still, after that I still get them, it's really starting to get to me now and I just don't know what to do. Can someone give me some feedback please?

Kind Regards
Stormraven.

I would personally recommend, if you haven't one or more of these suggestions:

1. Make a new usergroup for new members where until 5 posts, they can't do things like post links, and their posts go into moderation and have to approved by a member of staff.

2. Increase the difficulty of the question and answer mod. Aka, something topic related, NOT something like '1 + 1 = ?'

3. Email verification. Maybe with the those things above.

With this stuff, I've never really gotten any spambots.
