[wp-forums] Support forum registration now has a re-captcha on it

[Jose Conti Calveras]

Hi,

I'm the WangGuard developer, I only want to say, be careful with Stop Forum Spam. We use a portion of Stop Forum Spam database in our algorithm, but we have to filter (with our algorithm) a lot of emails and IP. If you use directly Stop Forum Spam, you will have a lot of False Positive.

Captchas.... Forget captchas, if you implement a captcha, in 48h will be cracked with a new captcha cracker or with a chinese farm.

And another thing. if you find a real possible solution, don't sent to the mail list. I'm sure this mail list is full of Spammer and Sploggers. Publish the possible solution here, is help them.

I am studying sploggers and how they work for nearly three years for my project WangGuard, and done in code, will be skipped in a few hours.

Behind sploggers are some companies that make millions of dollars a year. It not easy to stop, there are many way to fight them, and I use all the tricks that I have discovered in my algorithm.

Here some examples of software:

Link Farm Evolution ->  http://linkfarmevolution.com
SEONuke -> http://www.senuke.com/xcr/
XRumer -> http://www.botmasterlabs.net/index.php

Or hosting like http://www.spamahost.com

I opened to help

Kind regards
