You will never completely get rid of spam... get used to it

You can however, use certain tricks and tools in order to prevent spam for happening a lot.

Security questions could be one ( http://community.mybb.com/thread-83250.html )

There are human spam bots now-a-days too. Once again, first comment

In all honesty, it's really about finding a good combination for you and your forum.

That was the thread I was looking for! Kind of gave up after a bit of a search.

Thanks.

Note though. Adding all of those plugins may be a waste. Don't just go randomly adding plugins unless you actually require them. IMO, 1 or 2 of those should be enough. Which ones, depends on your forum and how much control.

edit: Link fixed.
