I’ve installed the Forum into an EE 1.6.8 install and have been having trouble with thousands of bogus registrations. I’ve enabled CAPTCHA and have tried using the EE Advanced CAPTCHA with no improvements.
Is there anything else that can be done to help combat these spam registrations? I don’t want to switch to a third party forum solution if I don’t have to.
Thanks

Hello MeritMile,
I am sorry to hear you are running into this spam issue. I feel your pain.
I have suggested Accessible Captcha to several users who have reported back that it has helped a lot. It’s a step further because it requires a human answer. (1+5=?)
What do you think about giving that a shot?
Let me know your thoughts.
Cheers,
