In the recent time there were almost every day a new bot posting crap in the forum.
Is it possible to make the registration more difficult for bots to pass? e.g. the simple but effective "write the letters from the gif" question.

When did these bots show up? These bots happened to ruin the forum community of a private server I played on for World of Warcraft, causing everyone to leave... I don't want that happening here :(

And to note, some of these bots post pornography links and sometimes pictures, so they must be stopped before they do cause trouble :(
