Full Version: Get rid of Spam

I have used MyBB and never had a problem with spam. But now that I've registered my website on paid hosting I get spam bots or spammers registering every single day. I've been banning them permanent for the last few days and getting tired. How can I make a setting that allows spammers not register? If so, how? Because I'm sick of having spammers registering every day, taking over my forum by posting weird characters, and then giving "fake" chat numbers. It's ruining my forum.
