The forum doesn't know if it trusts you yet.
"Open the pod bay doors please HAL."
"I'm sorry Dave. I can't do that..."

Pretty much on the head.
I've tried 4 or 5 different methods to stop the spambotters, the last one is holding up flawlessly. That message is a remnant of one of the steps I took. I forced moderating the first few posts, and new users so that the spammers would never make 'live' posts.
I took that out around 4:30 DST, so it shouldn't be a bother now.

Two methods I have found to be the best against bots.
1. Advanced visual confirmation. Something where the background/image that the code is printed on isn't a solid color. Multiple colors, with "shadows" of fonts in the background.
2. Textual Confirmation. This is similar to visual confirmation, but it's much more versitle. You can have a question/statement on the registration where the user will have to answer it correctly. Can be anything.
2+2, are you a human?, what is this site name?, say hello, say i love hoser, ect...
Very effective.

Andy, install this mod.

It's so far one of the best anti bot prevention method I have used so far.
Running a site for a friend, crucesstreets.com and he started getting bots registering at his site. They started out with like 15 in one day, then it just kept getting worse. I installed this, and not one bot has registered since.
It's easy to install too.

yeah, I really don't mind that the first few posts are moderated. It sucks for the mods actually. I mod a different site and know how much of a pain in the ass it is.

Yea; I've been running it on that site for about a month now with no problems. I also run solution number one on my car site, the advanced visualization code with no problems.
