    For some reason we are getting loads of spam member registrations on a site we developed at http://www.msnva.org. We’ve implemented a captcha and made most of the fields on our form required (see https://msnva.org/join/physicians), but for some reason they are still registering. The spam registrations don’t have any of the required fields filled out either, so I’m not sure how they are getting through. Is there some sort of alternative registration method that they could be using?

    We are using the solspace user module if that makes a difference. We had some test templates installed which included sample registration forms (we thought they might somehow be registering w/those), but we deleted these templates and are still getting spam.

    Please advise on how we can prevent this from happening.

    Thanks,

    Hi dreamten,

    Since you are using a third-party add-on, I would recommmend contacting the developer about helping you with your spam problem. I have had success with Hon-ee Pot on comments and forms on sites I’ve built.
