I like hidden-captcha a lot. It's invisible to visitors but is
pretty effective against bots. I have one bot a day that gets
through.<br>
<br>
I've also added a mandatory profile question. The label on mine just
says "say something so i know you're real". The bots insert junk.<br>
<br>
If you have a commercial site, CDN and DDoS blocking services like
Cloudflare and DosArrest block bots because the bots don't have the
same connection signature. Plus you get the performance upgrades of
a CDN and site monitoring.<br>

<div class="moz-signature">I am working on a new site (Drupal 7) and
I have reCaptcha module installed which includes the image captcha
as well. This still isn't keeping out the gnats trying to get
logins. I have the site set that all new users need to verified
with a valid email and the admin needs to authorize the new user
but it still hasn't stopped them. I am looking for other ideas
where I can limit these issues. I am getting about 15 a day and
they seem to be growing.
<div>
I have a few mandatory fields setup but I don't want to make it
totally a pain for new users to put in the valid info.</div>
<div><br>
</div>
<div>This might be just a cost of having the thing open for new
users but if anyone can give me some other ideas on how to stem
the tide I would appreciate it.</div>

<div>Thanks in advance.<br clear="all">
