I don't get it, why is my forum keep being spammed???

I had like 20 members and now its gone to like 40 members and that's cause all the new members spam each day. I am tired of deleting big amounts of porn/gay stuff/very very very disturbing things/and ads from companies.

Is there a way to stop bots at least? Heh.

CAPTCHA's (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Captcha) - that's what they're called and you need them.

I hate some of the CAPTCHA's out there. They are just impossible to read sometimes.

Heh, a comic I made that's related:

We had some problems with bots on our forums. We added a CAPTCHA to the registration form and removed all permissions of guests and the bot count dropped to zero. Try CAPTCHA's that aren't images, but simple math problems. Those are easier for humans. That way you don't run into that problem. ^
