I've just installed IsBot and StopForumSpam in my 3.8.2 forums. After carefully studying what they do, I realized they essentially automate the same successful bot-blocking strategies I've been using manually for over 2 or 3 years. Wish I'd found them l-o-n-g ago. Duhhh!

Between them I have every expectation they'll eliminate 99.5% of all spambot registrations and cut the risk of spam-posts to a minimal level. I suspect I'll be able to stop moderating new registrations almost completely. We'll see. But that's my guess.

Thanks!

Comment: Although the Addon seemed to work fine, I uninstalled it because the StopTheRegistrationBots Add-on does the same thing this does plus much more. I also plan on installing the Advanced Registration AddOn as well to help keep out the bots and get new user registrations out of moderation mode.
