Spam Signups Despite CAPTCH

Hey guys,

I’m wondering if you can help.

I installed BB-Press & BuddyPress a few weeks ago and quickly found the need to add a CAPTCHA to stop the spam sign ups.

I installed it, and it slowed them down, but I’m still getting sign ups that are clearly fake.

Attached is a screenshot of the settings and below is a link to the website forum.

Are you able to see where they might be getting through?

Thanks,
Marc

I can recommend this plugin. I get no spam signups and I’ve removed captcha. https://en-gb.wordpress.org/plugins/cleantalk-spam-protect/

I’ve had it installed now for over a year, it’s blocked them all.

Thanks. Does it work with the CAPTCHA plugin left on too?
