Preventing Spam Registration - Joomla! Forum - community, help and support
i'm new joomla, , hoping there's easier way handle this. i'm getting lot of spam registrations on web site, , of posting ads in shoutbox. i'm using joomla 1.5.14, , have securityimages module installed try , block spam. have web site set require simple math problem register, , have activate using link sent email.
while don't have hundreds of spam registrations day, i'm getting 5+ @ least every day, , having delete 2 or 3 spam messages in shoutbox every day. i'm concerned if don't under control now, once site has been around bit longer, it'll worse , worse.
is there better way of handling this?

some suggestions...
- change url of registration page
- use robots.txt block access new registration url
- use captcha instead of simple math problem
are using communitybuilder?
