Bot seems like by passing Registration Security Question plugin - MonsterMMORPG - 2012-11-11
I just reset all questions and changed them. Now i am checking and there are a lot more bot registrations that the total number of questions answers which means they are registering somehow without answering Registration Security Question
I mean this plugin

Try making your questions relevant to your forum content rather than being math based.

Remember, not all spam comes from bots. A good majority is still from human spammers (cheap labor from third world countries) which requires human intervention to eliminate. A plugin can only do so much.

Customize the questions and as Leefish said make them relevant to your forum.

i don't think so you understand what i mean
basically this bots are registering without answering my security question
because the correct answers count does not match the registered person count
actually even correct + wrong count still not catching registered member count
registered member count is a lot higher

Well you must of had some members before you installed the plugin

Do you have users that you've created for "testing"?

what i mean is very clear
the new registered member count is extremely higher than the correctly given answer count after all answers got deleted and re-made with 0 stats

Did you try registering without answering the question? Does it work?
