I installed succesfully latest version of the stopforumspam plugin (1.4.1) but bot are still registrating and posting on my forum.
Why? I checked their ip and it is registered on the stopforumspam database Sad

So it is the proof that the plugin doesn't work.
Is there a fix?
http://www.mybbsecurity.net/topic-register-time-v-1-0 have you tried this plugin it will help stop bot registrations, i use in conjuction with stopforum spam and have hardley had next to none spambots sign up.
SFS isn't a 100% fix for spam. Try lowering the frequency in the settings to 20 and take up adbrad's suggestion -register time is useful for when SFS is unavailable.
i activated the log of denied registration but where i see the log?
i have also the plugin suggested by adbrad activated.
Usually ./sfs_log.php - you will need to download it via FTP or a file manager (like cPanel) and open it in a text editor.
I checked my sfs_log yesterday and it must have about 20-30 entries just from that day, so that is working i would say, i did however get 1 spam registraion yesterday but he was soon banned.
