Kaitou Ace , the add-on may need some tweaking. It should block about 98% of bot sign ups, if you haven't got there since your last post was written.
I've been busy with uni myself, so haven't been around a whole lot. ^^
I never actually tinkered with that add-on myself, so I can't direct you on what to do. Wish I could be of more help. It was set up by the previous admin and the owner. It didn't need fixing, so left it alone XD. The reason we blocked China wasn't because they were still getting through, it's because it was like a pile up at the gates. They were denied sign-up, so they were hitting the server hard. We were able to remove almost all of the other anti-bot measures. It was that good + China ban XD.
When the owner removed spam-o-matic for a day, just to test it. There were 1,000s of bot posts. literally. haha!
For some reason before the add-on, we had this massive influx of bot attacks out of the blue. Never seen anything like it. It was so bad that some moderators threatened to quit. As fast as we were banning, they were signing up more. XD. Mods went from banning 200 a day, to maybe finding 1 bot a week. And those ones were initiated by human sign up.
