We support (via plugins) quite a nice variety of options, like spam-be-gone, and now altcha <img class="not-responsive emoji" src="https://community.nodebb.org/assets/plugins/nodebb-plugin-emoji/emoji/android/1f604.png?v=579bcfd5f54" title="😄" />

That could present a deterrent to bots with minimal disruption to regular users

I used Claude to build an ALTCHA registration plugin and its hosted here:

you can see it on my registration page here:

That's the most effective way.

And turn on spam-be-gone if not already enabled.
