 * I have been getting a lot of spammers/bots registering for events that I have
   created. Does anyone know how to prevent this? I thought using a Captcha plugin
   might work but there is not an option to add it to event registration.

 * From what I am reading, akismet only protects against spam in comments, not against
   people registering. Am I wrong?

 * Ah yes, you are correct. Like you mentioned in your original post, you’ll need
   to find a captcha or other addon that will prevent this from happening. I don’t
   see an alternative.
