But that wouldn't stop these guys anyway, they are real live people with the ability to solve captchas , not just computers.

Maybe ... but how would you go with captchas in foreign language and script?

In my experience, it does stop 99% of them. It's just unprofitable for them to spend much time on each registration, - they do it with automatic registration software to get the mass coverage.

These programs are able to solve common captchas.

Hi Tilt,

If one goes to the member section http://www.dhammawheel.com/memberlist.php" onclick="window.open(this.href);return false; the last page, as of this writing, is 277, and looking at page 277 and working forward one will see what are almost exclusively, for pages, Chinese spammers. From what I understand is that this is not the result of bots; rather, it is the result of human drones at work.
This is most probably done with automatic registration software.

I would recommend to delete all accounts that were not used for a year and left no posts, and also those with unreadable names, so that they will have no inroads into the upcoming forum.

No, not fake - but it's only one pixel thick and not at all nutritious.
