I noticed a few spam posts today and it made me think of a similar issue on another forum I'm one. The Admin there added a simple question, "What is the answer to life, the universe, and everything?" to the registration process. He even put a little note telling people that were confused to Google it for the answer. By doing this the amount of spam on the forum was substantially reduced. I was thinking this may reduce the amount of spam we seeing here.

Re: Anti-Spam thought

Remember if "the" and "and" are spelled right its not a genuine Ahuhn post

Re: Anti-Spam thought
Yep. We have challenge and response questions asking "What car brand manufactured the G6?" and a few other questions like that. They're the best and only ones that work since bots can now break Google CAPTCHA easily. We also have a module that connects with a SPAM database that prevents known IP's that have been reported to the database for spamming before from registering. Also when I find posts from SPAMbots that get through I remove them and submit them to the same database.2015 Chevy SS, Perfect Blue Metallic, Sunroof, No Spare, M6

Re: Anti-Spam thought
Best bet is to use the IP and email resource that prevents them from registering. This cleared FPs problem.
