UnionBook: Spam problem persists

The great majority of new users continue to be spammers and it’s taking a daily effort to ban or delete them.  We were promised a registration plug-in for Elgg by the end of September but that hasn’t happened.  I’ve posted messages to the Elgg community offering to pay for a solution but that hasn’t happened either.  We cannot grow UnionBook until we overcome this problem — and other than trying to find a generic PHP programmer willing to learn Elgg, I don’t have any ideas.  Anyone have a concrete suggestion what to do?

    There is a plugin here which adds confirmation or captcha code, if that can help:

    Thanks, Andy. I’ll check this out. Also, our site will be implementing a new registration plug-in that’s just now being rolled out. This should begin to solve the problem.
