I just added ReChaptcha, banned the known IP addresses and email servers and made it so that a person has to approve them before posting.

I don't know if the spammers have slowed down or what as I don't have any stats on that, but last night I installed the timezone hack and haven't had a spammer register yet! Let's hope that stays in place.

Had maybe two spammers join before yesterday. 53 joined yesterday and they were joining just as fast today. Changed to recapcha about an hour ago - seeing how it goes.

They hit my forum for the first time yesterday. I had about 20 new spammers register yesterday and already going 5 today added some stuff to it in hopes this will stop it. If not then I will start not allowing users to use free email addies. If I was to do so would it tell the registered users they need to change theirs?

I switched to ADMIN verify on all new registrations and that keeps the forum clean and delays the legitimate new users but it is better than the mess in the forum.

BUT... that last two registration attempts bypassed the ADMIN verify and when straight to email verification. I checked the setting for ADMIN verify and it is still set... Is there a backdoor to bypass that setting?

They have been to my sites today but can't get in. I also upgraded my No Spam mod yesterday to this one https://vborg.vbsupport.ru/showthread.php?t=183329 . Hadn't had any problems since. Keeping an eye out though.
