SPAMMERS everywere

I include (one word) at the end of my question. I don't think caps matter, but I would keep them very simple. You wouldn't believe how many people didn't know the sun is a star. (simple)

I did some simple comprehension questions with the answers spelled out at the end of the question.  One wrong, one right.  And a counting question, asking for the TYPE of answer I wanted.

And I asked if you hate Spammers.  I'll give one guess what the "correct" answer to that is. 

If I need to, I'll put in something more complex if anybody gets through, but it seriously takes a human mind to understand the questions, so I don't know if putting a more complex question in would really help any further.  It takes a human to answer, so if they take the time to answer they are burning time on my forum.  And my forum is admin approve of all new members so all they get from their time is a rejection, thank you.  So...I think my security might be as good as I can hope for now.

I've not gotten a single one since it went live so that mod really does do good work.

I have decided on two questions:

What is the capital of XXXXXXX?

How many in a XXXXX?

I am resolved that if my registrars are that simpleminded  they cant answer the questions then they have nothing to offer the forum anyway.

By the way, I have gone for the question option and turned off the "StopForumSpam enabled" and "Check also IP address" as people were telling me they got a "you are spam" notification when they tried to register.

Lets hope this works.  I watched as someone tried for 10mins to register yesterday and failed.  Dont know if it was a spammer or not!

Done the question anti spam.

Guess what, I had my first registration in five days and it was spam!
At least it took longer and was a human!  They must be stupid to waste so much time manually regsitering when it is clear they will be banned and their posts deleted.
