Up until now, we have only run VB sites where we manually approved every member. Now we're running a new site and only require email verification. We also have human verification enabled for everything.
The problem is, these bots are registering, verifying they are human, confirming their email, uploading an avatar, and posting to the forums before we can even catch them. What more can we do? Ive seen some spam tools built in, but dont know anything about their effectiveness.
