Hi guys,
I'm now dealing with spammers register to my forum. I try to ban IP and delete their user names but seems no help.
Please help guys, are there any mods or anything that can stop this problem please let me know.
Thanks all.

I would advise you to install

Spam - O - Matic
https://vborg.vbsupport.ru/showthread.php?t=248042

Further I would recommend that you seek an alternative then Google's reCaptcha which was "cracked" ... ie... Spam Bots now know how to over come it. I currently use Solve Media Catcha. Which allows you to also earn some extra cash (slowly).

Setup random questions and answers, and rotate them every few months.
I use random Q&A, and I do not have to many problems.
