Default I'm starting to get hammered by bots, what do you guys find to be the best solution?

I'm using the built in image verification, and for my other two sites it seems to work well, however I have one particular site that is getting upwards of 2 registrations per day. I figured I'd install additional human verification systems... which ones do you guys find work best?

Using these will mean the only spammers to get in have to do so manually,used with email verification I only get 1 or 2 a month try it on.

Alternatively you could go for the jugular and ban the entire country

http://www.ipdeny.com/ipblocks/

Just do an ip search to find the origin of the IP and then ban the entire country, I've banned Russia, China and most of the Eastern block Countries, you'll be supprised how effective this can be. :up:

Good Luck
