Now for about 2-3 months, we have noticed that there are about 20-30 a day that are getting past registration. I know the SOM is still working because it is rejecting around 120- 150 a day, but is there something that needs to be updated to get back to no spam like we previously were?

We do use re-captcha, email verification and our spammers are placed under moderation, but we are concerned about the number of bogus registrations rising now

Like I said earlier, no programming experience here, I only know enought to slide by. I was looking at our installation (done by someone else) and I only see Askimet API key I do not see StopForumSpam API Key set. Would we benefit by doing this?

You would be best to have the StopForumSpam API Key also did you update the functions_ghsom.php and try this program
