Urgent !!! Regarding fake customers registration

I've had to enable Captcha on some of my client's sites:

Admin > Configuration > Settings > General ... > Security tab  >> CAPTCHA enabled:

I have solved Fake Customer's registration problem...
I had used Honeypot technique.
You can use it to prevent bots registrations.

I enabled email validation and have recapcha. That seems to have worked for the fake robot customer being able to register problem. I am tempted to see if the fake post quit if I re-enable my forum?

Add a string property to your login model and a hidden input field in your view.

Then in your controller validate it with something like this:

if(!String.IsNullOrEmpty(model.Honeypot)
{
   ModelState.AddModelError("HoneyPot", "You are a robot spammer.  Get Lost.");
   return View(model);
}

Yes Jackluv you are right.. Honey pot technique is generally used for the registration part of the site. In your case your problem is in Forum part, so you can remove all the fake customers and then turn on the forum.

Then apply honey pot technique so no bots will be registered as customer. I think this way you can solve your problem.

@Jackluv

How familiar are you with the source code version of Nop?  Which version have you installed?

If you have had experience using the source code version then the answer to your question is trivial.  If not then it's a bit longer.

Let me know.

p.s. I posted how this is done on the previous page.
