vb.org Archive - View Single Post - Re Captcha before new thread and new post

Aden · #1 08-30-2009, 07:39 AM

Hey,
I have been getting a LOT of spam lately and I have tried all possible means to stop this right at user registration. We used to be on plain old captcha and from there we went onto re captcha and then to custom questions that users have to answer to verify.

At the end of the day, nothing works.

It is quite mind boggling that bots would be able to figure out answers to unique questions which leads me to the only possible reason, it is being done manually.

Now I am looking for a mod similar to what the guys at digitalpoint are using, which requires you to verify before posting a new thread. I want that as well as re capatcha before posting a new comment on a thread.

Any ideas guys?

Thanks
