Full Version: Any way to stop bots registering using fake emails?

My forum is becoming more popular now by the day, I have noticed a lot of the new spam bots registering that use fake emails. Is there any type of plugin that only allows real emails to be used when registering. Some type of detector plugin, I feel it would really put a stop to bots.
AdminCP -> config -> registration options -> email validation.

Ah yes of course thank you, I forgot about that, is there a way to lock out the already signed up members/bots that have used fake emails. Making them banned until they have activated etc...
