I don't believe anything has been changed to xenforo other than banning suspected spammers early.whatever has been done hasn't helped. spam is still every where, it just seems to be getting cleaned slightly faster unless browsing between like 4am till 7am EST.
They do look comfy.Now I bet you want a pair... the power ofadvertisingspamming
There is a long standing thread on the lawsuit.Why can't we talk about the lawsuit? Is there anything else more important to Xenforo and its license holders?

Knock yourself out.
I was just coming back to edit my post to say it was locked.It's locked.
They'll read your unedited post.I was just coming back to edit my post to say it was locked.
Now what are people going to do?
You have wrong information: XRumer can't go through KeyCAPTCHA. We are detecting it's attempts.I've just found that 7.5.28 and upwards has be trained against KeyCaptcha too, their current release is 7.5.31 (common CAPTCHA= bad, custom = good)..
As more people upgrade to the latest XRumer, I should imagine the effectiveness of people using KeyCaptcha will dwindled over the next few months, KeyCaptcha may need to update soon to stay on top of this (unless they already have).

7.5.28 it's august's version, so KeyCAPTCHA users had enough time to say that it doesn't protect)

!!!!customise the registration form
Our system can detect attempts and change algorithms, so no one version of xrumer was able to go through KeyCAPTCHA.Are you saying with 7.5.28 there was a phase where KeyCAPTCHA didn't work, but you updated to prevent this, or are you saying KeyCATPCHA never failed, so you never had to update?
You are right, he said this in 7.5.30, but in 7.5.31 there are no one word about KeyCAPTCHA. May be he gave up this idea?Their update in 7.5.30 and 7.5.31 mention KeyCAPTCHA :

We are developing protection system, and we know that not all like it and someone will try to break our captcha.Since KeyCAPTCHA has popped up on XRumers radar, I think KeyCAPTCHA will carry on being targeted in the future.
The only true way to protect it would be to have a session key or something generated before the form loads, then each field is given a unique encoded name based on that key, this would prevent a bot picking up the form field names all together. The same could be done on all forms once logged in - you wouldnt even know it exists.
I have a feeling that some are simply filling every thing they run intoXRumer by default fills in every password field on a page, including those that are hidden
A method I always use on my forums is to actually customise the registration form. On some boards I've done away with the default one all together and created a custom one - it's really not hard to do. This way, it's a non standard form with different field names.

If you get creative, there are some very effective ways to stop the spammers.
Would anyone be interested in testing a new Xenforo spam service?
It basically comes as an addon which checks all new registrations against our internal database and a selection of other sources (including StopForumSpam and CloudFlare) and advises whether or not the registration should be allowed. When you use the spam cleaner and ban a member, it reports it back to us as a spammer. For every forum using the service, it becomes stronger.
