Hello I'm using MyBB 1.6.6 version and having problem with spam bots. They everyday spaming, creating new threads, writing posts, registering and everyday spaming in the forum about pharmacy. How to disable that problem? Maybe is addon to disable spam?

I'm adding ban on ip and username but same problem.

Also installed Akismet but don't know how to config in full.
Use recaptcha on registration (ACP -> Settings -> General Configuration -> CAPTCHA Images for Registration & Posting -> reCAPTCHA)

Also try: http://mods.mybb.com/view/registration-s...y-question

Make the question relatively hard, but so that all your users will know it.
