Spammers

[Gucabe]

We have been getting a lot of Spammers lately, i had to resort to manual approval (for now) because of it.

The IP's are mainly from Russia and Ukrane and I was wondering how could I get more walls so that I don't have to deal with this manually... I have only been using the default captcha and recaptcha but i guess i need something else.

Any tips? Thanks.

I recommend this captcha: http://xenforo.com/community/resources/customimgcaptcha-spam-combat.1161/

And this add-on: http://xenforo.com/community/resources/registration-form-timer-now-includes-stopbotters-api.1248/

Here's a guide:

Personally we have a simple Q n A related to our niche and XenUtils that hasn't let one in yet.

Ok... that was fast... my screen was refreshing (slow network here at work) and i had already gotten 2 reply's... now that is support.

Thanks I'll look in to it.
