to stop spam bots!

[Marka Ragnos]

Not sure this is in the right forum, when i installed my forum it was only 2 days later before i got about 15 new members a day. 14 of them were spam bots.

So i used the image verification no luck there, i used the email confirmation thing and no luck either. From 15 to about 6 a day.

Then i added the question "Are you Alive?" You need to click yes, no or sometimes or you cant finish the registration.

2 weeks later and not a single spam bot has registered.

I know that i'm not the first one with something like this, just posting it in case someone needs a quick fix to stop those spammers.

Admin CP > User Profile Fields > Add New User Profile Field > Multiple-Selection Checkbox > fill in the question you want and make the field required set to yes.

I also removed the image verification, i hope this helps.

Kind regards
