 * I bought s2memberspro a week ago and it’s great to set up and seems to be working
   now which I’m very happy for, however I have a problem. Before installing s2members
   I was using Wangguard and StopSpammers plugins to block the vast majority of 
   the very large number of automated bots that target my site, I would still get
   maybe 20 a week or so who managed to get through but that was manageable.
 * Since activating s2members those two plugins seem to have stopped working and
   today when I went to check on my new users in Wangguard it had 13 pages (260)
   new users in the last two days and all of them except one are bots.
 * Is there any way of stopping this using s2members or another plugin that works
   well with s2members that can stop them? They are driving me nuts and it takes
   a long time to remove them all as wordpress doesn’t deal with user deletions 
   very well (though Wangguard helps a lot with that at least).
 * Does anyone know how these bots work? I don’t know how my site became targeted
   or if everyone gets this many and I have no idea how to stop them from targeting
   me at this point… Any thoughts or help would be GREATLY appreciated.

 * I have personally used Akismet but although it is good, it still let many “smart”
   bots through too. So I added Sweet Captcha plugin. It works fine and is cute 
   too!

 * The Math Captcha is working well on my site.
 * Captchas are basically useless now, you need ‘challenges’ to avoid them.
