What Human Verification system are you using? Also, if these bots are human-assisted, any verification you throw at them won't work.

Look here
https://vborg.vbsupport.ru/search.php?searchid=11041124

you want to install the Is Bot Mod, That will automaticall stop 99.9% of bots as it looks at the speed which registrations occur. an excellent mod and one which works great on my forums.

and try this good one by Dismounted https://vborg.vbsupport.ru/showthrea...ighlight=isbot

Then you want to try one of the other mods that allows you to ask questions and only allow registration if the answer is correct.

Theres so much you can do to prevent bots from registering, now theres no excuse

Good Luck :up:

yes you do, read the thread

it stops registrations based on the timezone selected, the vast majority of bots select GMT-12, which is uninhabited so no legitimate user will likely select it
