is in your original configuration of ipb in admin => member => parameter member => spam protection

you have 4 choices here : capcha - mark as spammer - ips antispam - and the last the quizz question (is here you enter your question for custom capcha)

It won't be enough to keep spammers out for long. If you are smart, you use CleanTalk. I'm not just suggesting this because it's a fun thing to do, I'm suggesting it because I had to deal with spam bots pming people on my board, and I gave CleanTalk a shot and ever since I had it installed, I haven't had a single spam bot sign up.

Yes it's not free, but it's only $8 for a whole year.

well yeah I used the captcha and still there is spam bots

i'm using ipb 3.x can you tell me how to do that security question ?

Because I'm curious, did you decide to completely ignore my suggestion because it's paid, or what? Humans can still sign up, and let the bot do the thing as soon as they're signed up.

I dont have the money to buy it :( My credit card is local (not international) it works only on my country like ATMs and stuff

thats why, if you can help me with one i'll be glad, if not please tell me another way to protect me from spam
