It should... Doing it manually can't be the best way. Maybe get that "type the following" stuff when signing up is a good idea?

Maybe one of the 2 options outlined on the website above could be applied hence avoiding annoying captcha option? Checkbox or honeypot.
I'm not very techy so just reading up on potential solutions. Would this be tricky to implement?

Seems to be a bunch more not enrolling and putting letters into the number of sneaks owned box. Can people with letters in this field be sorted - then deleted? Would that work to cull a few?

Not if it was done by a human manually? ie sort by number of sneakers field then manually tick the ones that look something like this (which would mainly be at the top).
gfjsjs
Any better that way? Is this even possible using MyBB Group?

Seems like the bots are upping their game - any plans to put a code thing in to verify human involvement? Is it a lot of work to get this done?

Or some more members who can delete those posts and "freeze" those accounts so that the mods can ban them later?

lots of bots for sure. click on "collectors" on the top and see the pages and pages and pages of "users" that have "joined" just in the last two days. it's unfortunate that's for sure

Hi Guys, sorry for the delay!
Added KeyCaptcha which should be a little bit more effective stopping the spammers (i hope)
Forums are like a magnet to them though
Deleted 2000+ spam accounts today!! :O

Well done Ollie! Thank you.

Make that 7000+!
We had over 9000 registered users this morning, deleted about ten pages of spammers, down to less than 2000 now!! :O
We should get it down as low as possible so it only reflects active users!
