Still being spammed hard! (after reading antispam post)

[davidallsop]

Here are my settings: -

Using reCAPTCHA™ Verification
reCAPTCHA™ Theme White
public & private key entered
Allow Multiple Registrations Per User NO
Verify Email address in Registration YES
Require Unique Email Addresses YES
Looked into email banning but most of my spammers use @hotmail or @yahoo addresses.

I am getting 300+ new registrations per day, most posting porn.

Anything I can do? Will my domain be on a spam list, if so is there any way at all of stopping this without having to moderate all members?

Have you tried using Question & Answer verification?

[davidallsop]

Yes ive tried it with the question 'what colour is a pig' - they are still coming through. Ive recently deleted over 15,000 spam members too, its a shame because I cannot get the forum up and running properly again because of all the spam.

[Dismounted]

You need more than one question for it to be effective.

That's really heavy. This hack is not preventing them from registering but helps to avoid porn spam. Good luck.

[davidallsop]

would multiple questions be better than using recaptcha?

[Dismounted]

Yes, "a lot" of questions should be more effective than captcha.
