I've been getting bots signing up on my forum.

I don't know how to stop them. I think they sign up automatically.


I have the MyBB default type in the word box enabled. It isn't stopping them from registering.

If you have MyBB 1.6.5 or higher you can set a more complex captcha with reCaptcha (you will need a key from here).
Admin CP > Configuration > General Configuration > CAPTCHA Images for Registration & Posting > reCAPTCHA

If you have another version of MyBB, you can install this plugin: http://mods.mybb.com/view/recaptcha.

This plugin can also help you: http://mods.mybb.com/view/registration-s...y-question.
My latest plugins : Warning for PM - Lock Posts - Invitation System - Additional Usergroups - More...

Thank you cfillion,
I had to wait a few days to make sure it's working before I say it is working lol. It seems to be working after I applied it. There were a few suspected bots signing up every day, now I haven't seen one for a few days.
