Default help with SPAMMERS

i am completely new to vbulletin and by the time i realized that it was much harder then my skills could handle i was already in over my head. so if anyone could advise me that would be great.

i turned on all the registration security functions on vbulletin but spammers keep invading my board. always posting about sex and viagra. i erase the post and ban the poster but someone else always comes in about an hour later.

does anyone have any suggestions of know if i did something wrong

thanks in advance

Simply use any Question and Answer during registration. Do not use Image Verification as that has been cracked.

Ummm well you could download some mods from here vbulletin.org because I know there are some they check IPs and stuff like that which makes them really useful.
