I just need a way to stop it automatically instead of staff having to deal with it.

Just some way to block spam bots etc.

Well, I have had the registration security question plugin installed since day one and I am still getting a shit load of spam.

But I just thought of something that might help and I fixed it.

All you have to do is edit the selected security questions because I am pretty sure the bots know the questions and answers.

Yeah the Registration Question should really help nip this problem in the bud. Make a question asking "Whats the name of this forum?", "Whats the last three letters of the alphabet?", "Are you here to sell Viagra?" lol

Is the registration security question plugin case sensitive with answers?

I have the greatest solution to the issue. I found it and I haven't gotten one spam post in two days.

PM me for it.

I see your running Mybb. I recommend a plugin called register time or something like that. If the bot takes too little time then it rejects the registration. Its working wonders for me!
