All this spam is really annoying.
Is there no proper CAPTCHA included in the registration process.
Even if that's the case, I heard that CAPTCHA's are getting old now. There's good software to analyze captcha's and read them.

Coders rule nr 1: Face ur bugz.. dont cage them with code, kill'em with ur cursor.
Well the forum's been upgraded, but as far as I can tell, not anti-bot mod has been installed yet.
I have updated the forum to the latest version, some time ago. As far as anti spam regulations go, the CAPTCHA option during registration has been set to the highest level. But as chronozphere said, that does not stop spammers anymore. We are getting around 5-7 new registrants a day at the moment, and while I realize many are potential spammers, checking them all takes quite a bit of time, something I don't always have. (New accounts have to get authorized btw)
About a week ago I installed a tool that checks name/ip/email against a known spammers db. It automatically marks around 50-75% of the new users, which is quite a bit IMO.
Hmm.. I took a brief look at the captcha's used here. I think they are very easy to read for both humans and computers. Isn't there a way to replace this module by one that is a bit more secure?
Just googled a bit. I think this might come in handy:

Ok, we now have reCAPTCHA for SMF installed
Hopefully, this as well as the other measures are enough to keep them out.
Great. We will have way better CAPTCHA's now. Hope this measure will keep those bot's out.
