MyBB Community Forums

Hello, my forum has spam accounts signing up all the time. I've made it so they have to do a math equation when signing up and got a plugin where if their signup time is below 10 seconds they get an error. I've also made it so you have to fill in a captcha when ever you create a topic or reply to a topic however they're still signing up and creating spam threads.

Any ideas on how to combat it?

Thanks.

Changing your footer MyBB credits to an image can help a lot, as well as asking an actual question rather than math. If they're human spammers though not much will stop them.

I've now changed the MyBB credits to an image. Thanks for the suggestion.

I highly suggest getting the StopForumSpam plugin. It has worked wonders for me.
