Hi Folks,

Lately I have been getting numerous fictitious registered members on my site and all coming from the same IP. I have banned this IP but they must own the whole block of IP's 91.200.12.XX. Annoying.

is there a way to stop these spam registered entries on my site? Would a captcha resolve this on the registration page?

Thanks
Dave

Captcha should definitely help.
