Everyone,
Just to say that I used the Custom Field and added a question "Are you human" with a load of stupid answers (Maybe, Not sure and so on) and
of course a No (default) and a Yes.
The spam stopped immediately (from 20 a day to 0) and I had a legitimate user register just now :)
Thanks,
T.

Re: SPAM registrations after upgrading to 3.0.4
Hi,
I have not upgraded to 3.0.4 (still on 3.0.2) and the spam has gone nuts since this weekend, I get
about 20 spam registrations per day.
Not sure what to do.
I set the noise on X and Y to 15 this morning, but still got 5 new registrations (spam) an hour ago.
