So if we can't get something like Captcha to work, we need to work with what features we do have, which would begin with limitations on features. There must be some basics available with the current version. Starting with post count-limited features, and then maybe even some kind of filter that checks for obvious spam phrases/terms.

The only true defense against real live scammers is to be aware of their patterns and be suspicious of ANY reply that seems fishy at all.

had the same problem on another forum. spam starts taking over, admin would change the random question to something else, spam would take few weeks, but then become what it was before. then the forum died for a number of external reasons, and the spam stopped coming around so much. so spam just means a healthy forum.
