  I keep getting spam users. I’m using buddypress and ultimate member so I have to keep registration open. I have required fields, I have a captcha, I have an email link turned on to accept new user registration and I still keep getting spam users. I can tell they are spam because they don’t enter a last name which I require. HELP!
