My forum (with the latest updates) gets spammed in a matter of minutes regardless of all the restrictions that I put in place. I have email confirmation set yet despite the obviously faked emails, all sorts of bots manage to register and spam the forum. I added special Questions/Answers as method of verification for human vs bot yet they register and post without problems. I know it is a bot and it cannot possibly answer the question. They must use some bug in vBulletin that allows them to bypass the verification system.
I cannot possibly continue using this forum software as all the spam brings down the reputation of my site.
