Hello, I currently use PHP-Nuke 7.6 and I am wondering why I have people spam my forums, like, it's spambots but I've tried many ways to prevent them. the bot signs up and just posts an advertisement in my forums. Always different IP's, these aren't real people.

Site is www.ffrcade.com

Any idea's on how to stop spambot accounts being created?


Any help is awesome.

Unfortunately, spambots are a way of life. Do you have visual confirmation setup with your login and registration? It doesn't stop everything but it certainly does help limit what the bots can do.

Also, I'd suggest you lock your forums down and all comment areas because bots love to expose these areas.
