Hello friends,

I had this issue too and find a way to prevent most part of them (I'm talking, principally about the 'blank avatar' ones):

- Add a new Obligatory question in your form sign in.

- Don't make your sign in form the index page of your site, create a Welcome page instead, for example.

- Use WatchDog plugin.

I did it, and now only the smarter bots join to my site, and these ones are rarely.

Good luck ;3

Surely this will work.

any such plugin may not be 100%. But the above 2 points will surely help.

Thanks for sharing.

Yep, 'cause that I said the three points, they work together.
