New members should have to both answer a question and enter the captcha image text. After that, they should not be allowed to post links to other sites until they have x number of posts. They should also be limited to x number of posts per day until they reach a certain number. By the time a member reaches the post count where they can post links, you will have a pretty good idea if they are legit or not.

How do you set up both a custom question and the image? I have installed re-captcha to help thwart the bots but would like the added option too. Most of my spam came from humans as they go through the email verification but I know the bots will soon be on the way. I opened the forum this past week (converted from another board).
