Are you using Akismet? And is everything enabled?
http://akismet.com/
– Make sure the Akismet plugin is activated /wp-admin/plugins.php
– Enter your Akismet API key /wp-admin/admin.php?page=akismet-key-config
– Make sure ‘Use Akismet’ is enabled in ‘Forum Settings’ /wp-admin/options-general.php?page=bbpress
Is Askismet a free plugin? I thought you had to buy it. Is there a free option out there?
We suggest you consider AntiSpamBee, it has some advantages over Akismet and is completely free:

I’ve installed AntiSpamBee, but can anyone recommend which boxes I should check off? I’m not sure which one I should check so that I don’t get spam user registrations, so I checked all the boxes. But something must be wrong because now my spam registrations have increased.
Any suggestions on what boxes I should or shouldn’t check?
Any help would be greatly appreciated
