What can you suggest, I have some tricks up the sleeve, you must have them all
I assume you probably do not need our configuration report for this.

What is Kuneana doing to help prevent theses huge problems..
I need to dig in my files there are enough examples to help for example
1. Require members to have 10 post before allowing any links
What have you guys been adding to Kunena.. This is a terrible problem and a big one, with priority requirements.

I use Community Builder for Login.
They have a new good working anti-spam-tool.
I also found out, that it is good to have a view more fields (like company name) that are mantotary. This also protect a lot of spam-registrations...
Also registration via Email-link-approval should always be activated.

I have a captcha, the problem could be manual submissions, someone over seas doing it for free..
What is Kunena doing, this should be priority for them... There are somethings they can do for example the one i used in my previous post.

Here's a clip from their security page:
Adjust the basic security level to modify CloudFlare's protection behavior relative to which visitors are shown a captcha/challenge page. A low security setting will challenge only the most threatening visitors. A high security setting will challenge all visitors that have exhibited threatening behavior within the last 14 days. Essentially off will act only against the most grievous offenders. We recommend starting out at low.
I'm Under Attack Mode should only be used when a site is having a DDoS attack. Visitors will receive an interstitial page for about five seconds while we analyze the traffic and behavior to make sure it is a legitimate human visitor trying to access your site.

I have exactly the same problem, but with the difference that my version of Joomla is 1.5.26.
I have confirmed that the user IP is in the database.
Did you get to fix the problem?
