a godsend.


Edit: it has an option to block everyone from China and Russia, works great for spam.
I highly recommend Checkbox Validation plugin. Made my life much easier.

Actually checkbox or normal spam protection plugin won't work as a real guy is spamming on his forum, not bots.

They're bots. Check your Apache logs, it's most likely XRumer which is easily taken care of by Fassim.

Here's an example of what XRumer's automated registration looks like in your logs:

188.165.174.38 - - [19/Feb/2013:20:43:41 +0000] "GET /ZEJ/archive/index.php/thread-181-5.html++++++++++++++++++++Result:+used+self-learning+system+data;+chosen+nickname+%22EarnefeEvaple%22;+ReCaptcha+decoded;+%28JS%29;+registered;+logged+in;+probably,+registration+failed+%28activation+code+was+sent+/+there+are+additional+protection+used+on+forum+/+forum+SQL-error+/+...%29; HTTP/1.0" 404 11472 "http://zejroleplaying.org/ZEJ/archive/index.php/thread-181-5.html++++++++++++++++++++Result:+used+self-learning+system+data;+chosen+nickname+%22EarnefeEvaple%22;+ReCaptcha+decoded;+%28JS%29;+registered;+logged+in;+probably,+registration+failed+%28activation+code+was+sent+/+there+are+additional+protection+used+on+forum+/+forum+SQL-error+/+...%29;" "Opera/9.80 (Windows NT 6.1; WOW64; MRA 6.0 (build 5998)) Presto/2.12.388 Version/12.10"

If you see that or anything dimilar after a bunch of plusses and a Result:, it's XRumer.
