check out the mods here http://custom.simplemachines.org/mods/index.php?action=search;type=19 . this forum uses very few mods, I dont know of any that are not in the core that are used in an attempt to stop spammers.

temporarily I am setting admin approved member option. Will this method help??

Illori

it can help but using the built in anti-spam feature of verification questions will make the job even easier on yourself.
