Since there are many bots registering at my forum, I wanted to ask, when I use moderate new members, how would I know if the user I'm about to moderate is a bot or a real human user?

The current wave of scumbag registrations are mostly coming from timezoneoffset -12
That's a good place to start checking. If they have a strange gmail address and coming from -12, you probably want to get rid of them...

I also found out that http://www.stopforumspam.com have got a list of spammers, do you think I should look there if the user I'm looking I'm about to moderate is located there?
Any more ideas?Comment

I always copy and paste the email address into google, nearly always shows spammers up. If the IP address is unresolvable that's another clue.
Up until Monday we were getting hit badly with these, but we've turned on human verification and have an easy question that needs to be answered on registration. Now we've got a normal forum again.Comment
