Hi,

I have added the NoSpam! addon and also use the built in question before registering with a few different questions but I still keep getting users like

1375322234, 3783548123957, 9635878464573, abcd137, abcd825, bcde750

How else can I stop people signing up? They can't post because they can't confirm the email but they are just annoying.

Thanks

They are probably humans that signup, and leave the account for bots to post the spam.

None of the accounts are ever verified by email though so they cant post, so it is a pointless thing!

I have just installed a bot mod but I just wondered if there were any more?

I use the vbStopForumSpam (https://vborg.vbsupport.ru/showthread.php?t=176481) addon and it's very efficient. Also you must inform to the Stop Forum Spam (http://www.stopforumspam.com/) page for these spammers that visits your forum and they will be registered in the data base so they will not be able to return to register itself again in your forum.
