Bots on xenforo?

[lepos]

I've noticed a lot of bots on xenforo forums and after searching for a while I found a lot of people used the following solutions.

• Switching from reCAPTCHA to KeyCAPTCHA + email confirmation.
• Stops spammers -
  You must be registered for see links
  (Have to pay).

Hopefully one of these works as I'm tired of having to see and having to report the bots just as much as a lot of people on here!

What?! Real people register and leave 1 post and never come back?

If they were posting in the shoutbox, then yes, they are not bots.

Anyways, I enabled email verification's (yesterday) in hopes to deter the spammers.

I've enabled it on MyBB as well and that never helped.
