I have installed and configured the "Smart Captcha" plugin but am still getting a tonne of bots registering on my oxwall site. What else can I do to prevent these spammers?

what kind of questions do you have?  is it a question bots can easily google for the answer?  does the question require reasoning?  


try questions such as 


what are the 6 (opposite of uppercase) letters   


or 


what is the top border color of this site


something that they have to either be on the page and see it or they have to reason and think about the answer.  


here are some more tips..    www.stopspambots.org
