Hi myBB Forums,

I have been avoiding making this post for ages because I thought I would be able to fix this problem on my own, but right now, I need a permanent fix.

I am getting a crazy amount of spammers signing up on my forum daily. Like I am talking about around 20+.

And I know it is easy to get rid of them individually using the GoodbyeSpammer tool. But I am looking for a permanent fix to stop them from signing up in general.

I have tried installing the NoProxyPlease plugin, which stops the spammers, but also stops normal legit users from signing up.

So that is not practical.
I am just looking for a good way to solve this problem.

My Forums URL is <snip>

I will supply a test account if needed. Confused
