0 thearmykid Posted October 2, 2013 Share Posted October 2, 2013 Adding a simple question on the registration settings , should do the trick. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

0 OpFor Posted October 2, 2013 Share Posted October 2, 2013 its installed but i don't see how to configure itIt really is useless to have the SFS hook if you have a registration question. For my Minecraft website, my question is "Who created Minecraft?". I haven't had a spammer since. The question just needs to be geared toward members of your community. Questions like "what is 1+1?" can sometimes be answered by bots, so don't use those. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
