Hello,

i added advance registration, question and answer (about the server) verification but still the forum bots bypass it.

Can you help me on how to stop them from registering? Banning their ips is no use, they can just use other proxy ip.

thanks,
maldita

Change you Q&A if they are getting by they are either human or all your Q&A answers have been cached somewhere so the bots just keep trying one from their list until they get in.

There are a couple of bot stopper mods. Spammers Suck is one of them and there is a newer one, can't remember the name right now. I have spammers suck installed and it works, no more bot registrations.

It is not a VB3 engine, just a parsed copy!
