Which Human Verification do you use? Try reCAPTCHA, if you are not already using it. Also, have a look at the other threads on this topic (there are plenty).

Also see Forum Robot Spam Prevention Recommendations.

Try the Is Bot Mod that stops all registrations that occur in seconds, Just like the spambots.

Real Human Registration take a few Minutes so all registrations that take seconds are excluded.

Guest tracking mod is also a good way to see what guest are doing and what they are looking at.

Thers no excuse now to have a site full of spammers, You can get all the answers and some great advise from the members here

Good Luck :up:

Its this one i was talking about
https://vborg.vbsupport.ru/showthrea...ighlight=ISBot, Although the one you state is just as good, With the amount of anti spam measures available, admins should be spoilt for choice.

And heres the Guest Tracking Mod, a very useful add on to see exactly what your Guests are up to, as well as keeping tabs on the spammers https://vborg.vbsupport.ru/showthrea...ighlight=Track

No there can be no excuse to having a forum full of spammers
