I see there are all sorts of vb related malicious hacker/spammer videos on youtube.

I have been getting a ridiculous amount of spammers signing up to my forum I have 100 members I think about 70 of them are spammers that I banned. It is not just WoW either, it is a couple of other sites one spammer had the nerve to post some viagra crap in our Sunday thread! And the last one that shows up alot is from some website called ideewoman.com advertising jewelry. My problem is so extreme that me and the other admin have to ban at least once a day. If I can't find a solution I might be forced to switch to other forum software to avoid these spammers, it is bringing down the spirits of my admin.

I use a combination of all of the following mods and advice from this site here with good results.

Is Bot: Registration Time Check

Multiple account login detector (AE Detector)


Multiple Account Registration Prevention

Report PM

I can't seem to keep these kids away from my forum!

Block User Ip From Your (.htaccess)

I use it and this WoW robot is the only one that achives registration. I don't know how but this robot passes thru reCapcha. I also had Is Robot Registration time check and didn't work either.
I erase posts myself with Easy one click Clean and Ban mod and banned the site in the bad words filter.

Pre moderate the first five or so posts for all new users, that helps drastically. Or add the suspect words to one of those filter add ons which puts all posts with the quote into the moderation queue.
