    Hello,

    my Expression Engine 1.7.1 site is receiving massive amounts of spam through comment forms, despite the captcha that I am using.

    An example page of an article with comment form can be found here.

    Is there anything that I am missing here?

    How can I reduce the amount of spam?

    Thanks for any help…

    Hi Tintin81,

    I am sorry to hear you are having so much trouble with Spam on your site!

    It is a constant battle, but there are a few things that can help. Under ExpressionEngine 1, the options are a bit limited, but I suggest you start with Low NoSpam. There are still a few more solutions listed on Devot:ee as well.

    I hope that helps!

    Cheers,
