it's a common problem... unfortunatly, there isn't much you can do about it, they always manage to get on the site somehow.

I go through the same thing on my fishing website. I ended up having to manually appove each person that joins to make sure the junk dont get posted..

They are easy to keep out, I posted a thread a while back offering to help you guys rid the site of them but got no response, and you dont have to approve each new member to do it.

Here

Install that, It can be done via the admin panel no ftp access required

then ban the GMT-12 timezone, if you will look almost every bot that registers selects that time zone, this stops them cold, since I installed this on my forum no bots have made it in, eventually they may adapt but for now it works great

If you dont have access to download files from there send me a PM
