spam problemo...

anyone have any suggestion for spam i have alot of people making fake profile how can i stop this i tried captcha no luck

There are lots of ideas in this topic. http://www.boonex.com/forums/topic/spam-spam-spam-spam-IDEA-.htm

The ones that seem to work the best are either spitting the join form and/or adding a question only humans can answer to the join form.

I don't use the captcha. I got way too many spam bots. I moved the Captcha Block to the inactive area.  Why keep it.  It's useless.

I have used another human verification method for Dolphin 7.0.9 with complete success in preventing bots from joining. I learned it from a programer on the DevelopPhp web site.  In the join form create a field that has a max value of 0 (zero).  Then set the defaullt value as "Delete this text"  Your caption can also instruct the user to delete the text in the box.  For some reason bots will not complete this correctly.  You will also want a Maximum exceed error message like "You did not delete the text in this box."

I have not yet tried splitting the form into two or more pages.

I like the simplicity of this idea and it works.  So Far zero bots for me since using it about two months now. I can use auto activation too!

For step by step instructions on Admin for the Join form see tonymarek's post above.
