I have 1000 to 2000 spam registration each day

Question

Hello Guys

Despite testing plugins like Honeypot and SRS (spam registration stopper), I have between 1000 to 2000 spam registrations!

Does recaptcha v3 stop this? Of course, it is not still supported in Q2A.

Has anyone tried recaptach v3?

Have you configured the 6 services in the SRS plugin?

---

Yes, I have configured them.

I was able to register using an invalid address that the SRS plugin should have easily caught. You don't seem to have properly configured/installed the plugin

Actually, I removed SRS plugin about 20 hours ago and started using your maintaining branch of AntiBot Captcha and after that, I got only 14 spam registrations.
Thanks for all your efforts. ;)

Answer 1

I'm using AntiBot Captcha plugin with the latest q2a version.

it is working very well and has almost stopped spam registrations using bots. (I had 1000 to 2000 bots registrations each day!)

Just install it go to plugin settings increase the "Symbol count" to more than 6 and add some letters to "Character Set". (Characters are case sensitive)

Have you tried .htacess entry yet? So you can also stop certain countries.

This can be a good idea, especially banning China. because most spammers are from China.
but they can easily do it via a VPN from another country.
But I will try it.
