I have recently installed the v1.8.3. I'm using recaptcha as a spam protection. Have also tried stop-spam plugin but none of these are able to stop spam registration. I got 10-20 spam registration everyday. I don't want to use clean talks. Though I don't know about clean talks. But is there any way to stop these type of registration spamming??
Q2A version: 1.8.3
by
I even suspended user registration until I find a solution to this problem.

In addition to the recaptcha I have added a check box to accept the User Agreement and some extra fields in the registration form. Spam user registration is totally stopped. See example - https://chatrealty.in/register?to=

Is there any use of cleantalk.org for spam? I have used it for a short time. I've blocked spam records, but I don't know if it's reliable. He wants us to add two lines of code to the index.php file. I have concerns about performance and reliability. For example, could cleantalk see a non-spam mail address as spam?

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)
