My forum is getting hundreds of spam embers and threads.

I have Registration Security Question plugin installed and all members must verify there email before getting access.

What else can I do? and why is this happening.
Read this thread, there is a list of spam prevention plugins:

You can install some of them and you will stop them Smile
There truly is an inordinately high level of spam on all of my forums over the last few weeks.

I have many spam plugins and nothing seems to stop the power of xRumer.
Personally I use Security Questions on Registration and enter in random numbers/letters for the user to input, and also use Google's captcha system it everything gets blocked on my end. I would recommend those two things for you if you can't find any specific set of plugins to stop spam bots.
Just Ban Spammers Ip ranges thats best idea

using plugins will cause many problems
