19,000 Spam Users???

[LaurensPlace]

Dont know where this goes but on one of my beauty forums that I started 6 months ago and havent really checked in on it for 2 months cause I figure it wasnt going anywhere and I would just cut my loss and move on.  So I check it today and I got 19,000 users who Im sure are there to spam with those damn Viagra and jewelry links.   

The thing is I only had to delete one post.  I think I had captcha for new members under 5 post.... THANK GOD.
I also believe I had it for registration too but how are they getting pass??

You are running a Web Hosting Business/site, so I think you should know the answer 

Anyways, CAPTCHA can be very easily bypassed by Bots. Try using this MOD: http://custom.simplemachines.org/mods/index.php?mod=2815 OR http://custom.simplemachines.org/mods/index.php?mod=2502

First I will install anti-spam, and then I will report any spammer to stopforumspam.com to prevent them signing up to your forum or other peoples forums again .

These are the Mods that I use and in the last 5 Months I have had ZERO  spam bots on my forum, I just reset it due to some errors that I had
