spam wave

howdy folks, we got a spam wave rolling in this morning despite 1) the requirement to register by email 2) the requirement to accept guidelines and the privacy policy and 3) having the "invisible" captcha option on.

I switched to the second captcha level, but that didn't stop the wave entirely. So in addition to the above, I've now added the requirement for moderator approval for the first post. That seems to have worked.

Just a heads up.

Marc, hello. Thanks for the suggestions.

Where do I find the "CMS"? I have to specify that for keyCaptcha.

Also, would you use Q&A in addition or instead of the above? I guess you're going to say "choose what works best for you" 🙂 but is there something else I should know? Remember, I'm an amateur.

You will have to create an account at the below link for that to obtain your key.

Have you enabled the Spam Defense from your Admin Panel?

Personally I would use the Q&A on top of the other anti spam protection.

Hi, yes. When I want to set up keyCapcha, I get this window:

Could contain: Page, Text

 

 

The info says  "Specify CMS installed in your site" with the info below it as shown in the image. That's it. The dropdown list provides options (Bitrix, Concrete5, DLE, Drupal ElkArte IP.Board, Joomla, Movable Type, MyBB, OpenCart, Phorum, phpBB, Pligg, SMF, vBulletin, Woltlab BB, Wordpress, Xenforo, Xoops, other CMS.)

oh @Nathan Explosion Thank you. Posts crossed. Got it.
