Use this plugin >> http://mods.mybb.com/view/registration-s...y-question

And set the questions according to your original site visitors , Like If you have a forum for cars, then add questions about cars.
How do I install Spamalyser? I downloaded the rar file, but I have no idea how to install it.
Extract it and upload it just like any other plugin.

This is also great, if your spammers are trying to post links.
Set the members group so they require at least 10 post counts before they can post hyperlinks.

Works great.
Just upload the content in upload folder to your host without changing the structure.

and then goto plugin and then install the uploaded plugin.

thats it.

To extract .rar files, you might need WinRar.
I have reCaptcha and security questions. It stopped the bost, but now many months later again same bots register.
Ones who fill up their location as car (i.e Ford, Peugeot).
Thorondor I have a car forum with the same issue, they fill their location field with random characters.

Spamalyser stopped it for me Smile
