It will be great if we can specify questions for each form, such as link suggestion form, registration form, no matter the form is turned off or not in the system.

The member function is off on my site, but I keep getting new spammer/member registration everyday.

for example,

I specify 'Google.com', the submitter must enter 'Google.com' intactly, otherwise the form won't be submitted, its just like adding extra captcha.

and we can change the words to whatever we want in the system.

Added a line for 6.1.5 to make sure people can't try to register when registration is off.

As for the suggestion, I'll consider it long-term. There'd have to be an interface to input a series of questions and answers. Seems annoying for the end user though so less intrusive spam-prevention will be my priority.

Do you have CAPTCHA + invisible field bait turned on at Admin -> Settings -> General -> spam prevention? Maybe if I made the bait field name change it'd catch more. Or if you require them to fill out any custom field that their program doesn't automatically fill, that'd help catch the ones that the bait wouldn't catch (ie the ones that don't autofill every field).

well, i do not have 6.1.4 option in my member area.

i have CAPTCHA + invisible field bait turned on and member function off but still get new signup daily. now I set Required all fields for Registration, lets see if it can stop the bots.

why I suggest the customized question on forms, it really works. I have some game sites getting new spamming registration daily, but once I manually add a question on the form, and changed the if condition to must validate the customized question 1st then process the rest, no more spamming signup.
