SPAM! How Do We Stop It?

Maybe we should go back to the question/answer verification then if CAPTCHA is bringing more spammers in. But maybe we should have a better question this time around.
 
Are we implementing the verification code via email? Entering that particular code being sent to email address before they can access OF.

We already have a system like this in place which forces users to verify their email via a link emailed after registering.
 
Yeh switching back to the Q&A verification seems to have drastically cut spam.
 
On a forum that I owned we just had manual account activation and we filtered the spam accounts ourselves. I know it's a lot of extra work, but the most effective though...

That's what I do on my forum UKPaddleSports.. Any new members have to be approved. It filtered out the spam bots without fail! :)
 
Put it so they can view threads as they would normally be logged in but can not make any posts for a day or till approved.
