I am starting a new forum using your software and I was wondering about a problem I have with an existing forum using phpbb.  Does eblah help me filter out bot enrollees?  I can't keep up with deleting all the bogus members on my other forum I am getting so many and I want to prevent that from happening on my new forum.

Are there measures in place that prevent bots from enrolling as members?  Or will I have to remove them individually to keep my membership rolls clean?  Right now on the current software I am running, members require approval to join the forum but the bots somehow get past the encoded word they have to decipher to get on the membership rolls anyway.  Spam posts are not a problem, but
bot enrollees are.

Thank you!

Enable Human Verification, and that should keep them out of your forum.


I do installs for $25 and upgrades for $20.
