Well, maybe there are. I am not super professional programmer. Just administrated a tonn of forums/cms for years and used all kind of built-in spam-bot protections, capchas, recapchas, questions, quizes.. everything. Spambots became SO SMART nowadays, they avoid nearly everything and even pass 3D quizes. Hell, even a huge and, i believe, decently protected website like this one is INVADED daily.
captcha is useless. That's why. You need more than that.
Just my personal opinion that has nothing to do with Dfans Services and upcoming improvements!
Interessting point from you. I think personally the reCaptcha Service from google is working pretty fine. In my mainjob i have to maintain different plattforms and we are pretty satisified with it. And if the bots don't cycle the registration through proxys and proxy networks, it is almost pretty easy to identify recurring ip adresses within the registration process and drop them if you operate on core or root base.
I had recaptcha on couple of my forums and bots still made like 20 accs every day. Sometimes 40.
Captcha is just a script, and for every script there's another script which decyphers it. So i gave up on this and just use third-party paid service and a plugin. And i disabled all captchas and 0 bots now. For a very small fee per year i have three headache-free forums

Layers and layers of questions and anti-spambot questions will make people ragequit in process of registration. This is why only a solid forum software security solution can help here. I've been fighting bots for like 15 years already.
