What plugin people use or how do you stop a bunch of spam from registering for your forum? I got hundred and hundred trying to sign up. What is the best plugin? Ive seen people say ones they used eventually locked them out of their own website. I am trying to avoid that. Thanks in advance.

what is the nature of your website, and how many real people are registering per period eg 10 a day, 20 a month

It is a blog website with a forum for people to connect who have the same rare condition. I haven’t fully launched it yet because of the spam issue but I imagine it will be maybe 30-100 per month. Nothing large scale.

ok, I use captcha.

This guide is quite good at explaining, but you will need to create a google account first.
