Spam add-ons?

[Ellie]

Hi,

We suddenly have a real issue with spam and I wondered if anyone could recommend a free addon, one that ideally stops registrations.

I used to use a great one that stopped country via IP but it was a real drain on the server.

But if anyone has a suggestion for something that would be great.

Btw at the moment we are using the Capcha and not the Q&A but I'm not sure how robust that is.

Thanks

This works great.

It uses a powerful API that stops pretty much all spam registrations.

You should also switch to using Q&A rather than reCaptcha.
