Am getting lots of spam in the registration form, and reCaptcha is on. I do get an error if I test and do not fill it out. So how can these be getting through? They are all junk. Are actual people submitting these?
We had an event in September using this and had 80+ registrants, and no real spam, for a Dec event, got a few, now getting a lot, so seems to be getting worse. Are there other anti-spam measures being worked on or other things we can do.
Are others finding this?
Have had EE since last July, have the most up to date WP

Thanks in advance.

Hi,
From our end reCAPTCHA is working fine, we dont know of any issues with reCAPTCHA itself. And from some tests on your site it is working as expected.
It could be possible that the spam is from real people, it is fairly common and it’s generally the only way to get around the reCAPTHCA.
Have you checked your analytics to see where the spam users are coming from? Whilst it is a bit heavy handed, if the spam users are coming from China (for example) and you dont have clients from that way, you could just IP block the whole of China.
