Hello MyBB forum, Ahmed here searching for help. There are bots registering on my MyBB forum and spamming, as I see when I want to delete them they don't have same ip's or same emails. So please could anyone help me? I need like a Human Verification, this will stop them. But how could I get one? Please help!
If there is any other ways to stop them 100% just post below, no need for the Human Verification if there are other ways.
1. Ban all the e-mails found in the thread below:
http://community.mybb.com/thread-92228.html
Also, ban the following:
teleworm.us
jourrapide.com
armyspy.com
cuvox.de
dayrep.com
einrot.com
fleckhens.hu
gustr.com
jourrapide.com
rhyta.com
superrito.com
2. Put all your crawlers and spiders in a separate group(Create a new group and change the bots group from guest to your custom group).
3. Install the hotwords plugin.

Ban all the words found in the paste below:

4. Get Cloudflare and ban the following countries:
China
Venezuela
Brazil
Korea
Pakistan
India
Czeck Republic
Ecuador
Egypt
Estonia
Ghana
Sri Lanka
Ukraine
Banning the above countries through Cloudflare would
NOT affect your websites traffic or SEO at all.
You should not block any country because not all the traffic from that country is involved in spam! I don't think you will ever be able to 100% stop spambots instead I recommend you to make it harder for them to register and post!

Blocking any country in Cloudflare would not block all incoming traffic but instead it will force them to face their challenge page which has a question you have to answer and after you are done answering it correct, you are free to access the site.
"You should not block any country because not all the traffic from that country is involved in spam! I don't think you will ever be able to 100% stop spambots instead I recommend you to make it harder for them to register and post! "
Some people may not want traffic from countries simply to make sure that visitors they don't want aren't chewing up their site's resources. If a site catered to the USA only, for example, there may be valid reasons for them to block traffic outside of the USA.

how dare are you to say block India :@
Dude try fassim anti spam. It block all spam bots in my forum
Implement all the MYBB default anti-spam measures for starters, switch to reCaptcha, install security question plugin, block new users from posting URLs or specific spammy words.
I'm not sure why you recommend reCaptcha. It's not more secure than the default captcha but annoys a lot of users because it's often unreadable.
