Fake users. Spam was created by ferjoe

There seems a quite few fake users in my registration system this days. Usually they repeat Name middle name and last name. Like:
Pestmeate Pestmeate Pestmeate
RonnyGeeks RonnyGeeks RonnyGeeks
Here some email:
ronnygeeks@adic2002.com
martaweber@mail.ru

Is the last captcha working nice??? With cb 1.2. RC3???

On my golf site I have a required field which users must fill out which is relevant to golf. If "junk" or non contextual information is put in that field, I reject the member. Some bots do manage to get by the captcha and this security measure has been a great way of weeding out spammers for me.

This type of procedure does require manual/admin approval of each user.

CB/Joomla golf site: www.thegolfspace.com
Geek/joomla site: www.tkserver.com

Check out my Joomla/CB projects:

* LIKE thumbs up system for "liking" content items
* Karma - CB user rating system
* Golf Score Tracker
* Jitter - status update system. "What's on your mind?"
* CB Author Plug - Shows CB author link and avatar in content items. J1.5 compatible and very customizable!

Found on my web site or in the Joomlapolis Directory !
