SPAM BOT help needed
I have searched and searched, any I am coming up empty on this.
History:
My group has our own private forums. I am handling all the moderation by myself. I am being overrun by these SPAMMERS. I get about 50-100 new registrations a day.
I have HUMAN VERIFICATION set to reCaptcha. I also added an "Image Verification" mod that makes someone registering pick the right picture before being allowed to register. But, it's barely helped.
I also do NOT allow post until I have moderated a new member.
How I moderate new users
When a SPAMMER registers, they are automatically placed in either
(COPPA) Users awaiting moderation or
Users awaiting email confirmation
For COPPA, I go into AdminCP>Users>Search for Users>Quick Search>List users Awaiting moderation... this allows me to mass delete the spammers.
As for Users awaiting email confirmation, I have to go to AdminCP>Users>Move/Prune Users to mass delete that group.
My question
Is this what everyone does? Can someone suggest a better way?
Thanks in advance.
