I've added security question on registration and another plugin which will prevent you from adding a website to your profile if you have no posts. Most spam bots are just doing that so it will at the least make their registration useless. If the problem persists I'll add more, if the spam bot posts just report it.
 
Nice idea and nice addition. I hope it'll tone it down.
 
Just added Recaptcha as the last attempt apparently didn't work.

so that's why you banned the half of XS members, right?
 

All those members you've seen sign up today/last night were all spam bots. I had to go through ban every one of them, ban the IP's and delete the posts this morning.
 

Why didn't you just delete the accounts?
 
Because I banned them all from mod cp already.
 
Yea, the site somehow got leeched to a spammer. Oh well these anti-spam features will hopefully help out.
