Heres what I use to stop bots and it works pretty good. Maybe get 1 bot registering every 3 months.

I had lots of forum spam this is what I did to stop it:
Installed GlowHost Spamomatic and configure it This blocks on average 50 email addresses a day from registering. Enable VBOptions -> Human Verification Options for everything except post Enable reCaptcha in Settings->Human Verification Manager This solved 95% of the spam. After I got CloudFlare Free edition and set security mode to Medium and I forced enhanced authentication on all IP's coming from Russia, Ukraine & Romania and we now have ZERO SPAM! To remove the blog tab go to VbAdminCP -> Settings -> Navigation Manager and if you want to disable blog completely disable it in Products/Plugins I'm not an expert on anything but I know this worked great for us |
