At a Gaming Forum I help moderate, we were getting overun by bots.
On a hunch, I went into the Admin Panel and changed the user's password requirements.
Now, at registration, all new users are required to use numbers, letters, and at least one symbol in their password.
It has completely shut out the spambots! For the last six months (knock on wood).
Don't know why, or if it would work here, but it might be worth a try.
