I’ve been using it for years to block spam registrations on my forum. However, over the last couple of months it’s become effectively useless. There are bots out there now that defeat it easily. My forum now gets multiple spam registrations per hour and it’s impossible to keep up with. I’ve had no choice but to disable registration completely and tell people to email me instead.

What are people doing currently to block spam registrations to bbPress forums?

I use the following four way spam stopper:

Approve User Registration

bbCaptcha

Akismet

Human Test for bbPress

We have had minimum issues at our bbpress forums

can you give a link for the human test plugin? I can’t find it. and the bbcaptcha plugin doesnt seem to work with the latest version of wordpress.
