…Or only accept registration with a one Euro fee only… to be donated later on … ( as already suggested long time..).
It will stop all scammers, as well as the “ Eintagsfliegen “ ( where are all these with all this promissing and bright future here ? ).

Registration with a question to answer: 12+4=?

Or "capcha"

I admin elsewhere. Most platforms have automatic new registration and anti spam settings available via the Admin CP [Control Panel] as manual checking is extremely burdensome. XenForo as used here is no different..

XF 2.2 - What is the best way to prevent bots and spammers from registering CAPTCHA, questions or ????

CAPTCHA seemed to have improved so I currently just have CAPTCHA on. Do questions work better for you at preventing spammers and bots? I was considering doing both but I'm sure that would piss off real folks trying to join so leaning towards going to questions. Are there any good sample...

Capcha's are another layer of course.
