Implemented Xenforo - google i'm a not a robot

[Automotive Talk]

Hi

Does xenforo have a addon for google I'm not a robot?

Its actually inbuilt by default. You just need to setup the i am not a robot account with google then enter the code into your xenforo installation.

For what its worth, in my case, it did not stop or even slow the spam bots.

I have found the most effective method to stop spam bots ( by far ) is to set a custom question.

e.g "What does U stand for in U.S.A ( Hint United )"

As stated this already exists.

Enable ReCAPTCHA (No CAPTCHA) in the options in the Admin CP.

The only thing with this, is it doesn't work on Nokia Lumia Windows phones.. Or any Windows phones I imagine.
You can't tick the box, so if like us, your userbase is mostly mobile users, this is ineffective.

In our case, we have had NO spam in one year - we also use slider captcha which I will say, is fantastic!!
This is the best one I have ever used, and it stops spam as they can't slide!
