Questions are:
In addition, I have a few required fields during registration like the user's CPU, hard disk, RAM, graphics chipset, but they are just putting jibberish in there that's how I differentiate the real people from the spammers and delete them |

This will stop a large amount of autospam bot registrations cold, and no legitimate humans will ever know it's there.:

This may help https://vborg.vbsupport.ru/showthread.php?t=265141 but there's plenty of anti spam/bot mods out there make good use of them and your troubles will be pretty much over. As for waiting for a moderator from here to login to your site, you may have a long wait as thats not their job, settings are things that you set specifically for your forum, someone else setting them may not be how you want your forum to respond.
Your best bet would be to tell us which settings in admincp>vBulletin settings>User registration options you have set ....etc then we can tell you what, in general, we have ours set to. |

additionally, my problem is still as follows: With VB4, if I set the option that new users require moderation, i would not even see them in the Latest Registered members list on my main forums page until I have actually went to the users moderation que and approved or deleted them now with VB3, I set that option, but it only happened once that a user was moved to the moderation que, and I got 3 others users who were able to register successfully despite the fact that I have users must be moderated Additionally, are the questions / answers that I put good enough or are they easy for spammers to bypass? |

If your core files are compromised then it's possible to register without going through the correct channel, if thats not the case then its possible your Q&A answers are already cached with spammers/bots and thats how they are getting by. So, you need to add extra measures to stop the automated registrations - do you have email confirmation turned on?
Seriously, search here and install some stuff like the following: https://vborg.vbsupport.ru/showthread.php?t=176481 https://vborg.vbsupport.ru/showthread.php?t=261492 https://vborg.vbsupport.ru/showthread.php?t=264932 https://vborg.vbsupport.ru/showthread.php?t=201466 There are loads, make use of them |

I solved it thanks to your suggestion bro
I deleted all those easy questions and just put one hard question that is easy for real people who know about computers to answer, and i didn't get a spammy registration since then |

So that shows that all the answers to your questions had been registered with the spammers/bots - glad you're sorted!

I rotate a long, convoluted, instruction to paste the question into the answer box...
