Hello everyone. I know WPForo use Akismet but we have soo may spam account registering on www.egpu.it

Even if we have Google recapcha in WPForo login, Akismet... there are tons of fake account registering. They can't post but they are able to register. Any hint please?

there are tons of fake account registering

Also, please make sure the reCAPTCHA is enabled for all registration forms in Dashboard > Forums > Tools > Antispam Tab. If you have other Profile builder plugin or WooCommerce they add new registration pages and require additional protection.
