    Spambots countermeasure suggestion

    Have you tried Q&A CAPTCHA in phpBB to eliminate the spambots?

    The last week has gotten out of hand. By far the worst it has ever been.

    Captcha is typically so difficult i can't make out what the letters or numbers are, yet a spam bot knows it too easy. I have added a question to the registration form which hopefully will keep them at bay.

    we don't use phbb, but we're looking at something else that will help out.
    it's a double sided sword, deal with a few bots or lots of new members complaining they can't post due to the restrictive registration process.

    thanks for reporting them, and we'll get it figured out.
