@Kev, But I still did not understand the solution!

I need alternative… do you have?

Nope, there isn’t one.

Any automated solution can and will eventually be beated by spam-bots, based on the fact that they are upgraded to mimic human behavior.

Any automated solution becomes less effective over time.

And automated solutions against human spammers make 0 difference at all.

Did you mean there is no need of captcha

Yes. Captcha’s stop spam-bots quite effectively, but also stop a large percentage of human users. Captcha’s do not stop human spammers.

Captcha’s are like wearing a clock round your neck ( http://www.blogcdn.com/www.theboombox.com/media/2008/02/flavor-flav-200-020608.jpg ). It seemed like a good idea at one time

…and allow people to send thousand of fake emails and register users

No.

There are other methods of cutting down on the spam. You just can’t stop the spam entirely. If you run a website, YOU will have to moderate in some form. It’s just the way of it.

But making your users prove they are human every time they post is simply a very bad option. It’s not your users fault there’s spam on your forum/blog/website.
