I need help stopping wordpress spam

[Xarzu]

I need some help and maybe you can offer some advice about my WordPress site.

I get a lot of spam from spambots and spam from people looking to register on my forum/blog for the obvious purpose of spamming on my site. I have a registration page with one of those CAPTCHA input items and I also have a form where they have to agree to conditions in order to proceed. But these things does not stop me from getting email from people "requesting a username".

I think all the things that I have put on my registration page does not matter if a "_POST" message is sent to the php through the URL address. Is this right? What can I do?

After the started to use KeyCAPTCHA plugin for WordPress in my blog I had zero spam comments, switched off Akismet and moderation.

I too would recommend Akismet and also AVH First Defense Against Spam, with its Project Honey Pot that records known treats and stores new emerged ones. They both have their goods and bads, Akismet filters a good deal of non-spam comments and form submission while Honey Pot may have breaches in security. However, they proved useful for me, they grant a level of defense I can manage with.
