Full Version: Random people on my forum

Everyday I see a list of 10 or so new people join my forum with weird email addresses. I know they're spam because this has been going on for a month now and everyday I have to delete the new accounts or else they'll start posting spam all over my board.

Is there a way to stop this? Are these bots or really desperate legitimate people? How can I filter these out? I don't want to make the registration pass by Administrator activation because when I did, I'd get 10 emails everyday asking for activation. I had to delete the emails, go to my admin CP and delete the accounts from there too.

Help! Please?

EDIT: I forgot to mention myBB Version: 1.6
I'd go with Fassim Anti-Spam and/or StopForumSpam. My board's been pretty spam-free ever since adding them. Smile
