How can we prevent this from happening? There is many spam/fake/robot accounts registering on our forum.

Thank You!

I’ve deselected ‘Register’ in Asgaros settings (making it not show in the header) and I use my own registration form with a recaptcha on the sidebar… This helps ward off bots, not humans.

Might help in your case?

Hello eraoflight777,

the login/register-logig is the WordPress default-implementation and not a part of the forum software. So if you want to customize it, you have to use plugins for it or ask in the official WordPress support-forums for help.

On this website I am using the following captcha-extension to protect the registration from spam-accounts:

I am not the developer of this plugin so it would be the best to ask them directly. 🙂
