Component usable for controlling registration bots was created by paz

Hi all,

I had a brief search online and didnt find much to the subject. My site is getting hit with reg bots non stop. I'd like to implement something that prevents this. Is there any specific components people have successfully used to mitigate bot registrations?

Thanks,
p.

We use SpamBotCheck on this site to test for standard Joomla spam registrations. I'm not going to say it catches everything.. but it gets more than 99% of all crap accounts:
extensions.joomla.org/extensions/access-...pam-protection/14027
That extension will check some online databases for known 'bad' IP and email addresses.

For reference, we have over 1000 spam registration attempts a day, so >99% is darn good, but that <1% can still be annoying.

I hope that helps,
Alex
