I haven't upgraded to WSC 3.1 yet as I only bought 3.0 back in December, but I expect I probably will soon.
However, I did install User IP Log and have around 20 IP addresses blacklisted, yet still get seemingly innocuous sign-ups who then go on to post rubbish.Not sure if they're bots or paid spammers, but I could certainly do without them and the only available anti-spam seems to be Re-Captcha.
Yes, being in German can be challenging but Google Translate comes to the rescue, although I do spend hours sometimes, trawling through their forums and plugin sections when looking for an answer to something.
Also it's worth bearing in mind the 'lost in translation' aspect as some replies may sound very short and direct, since they are probably direct translations from German to English. I've had a few wtf! moments but quickly realised that there was no mal intent.
I'm still trying to figure out how rid myself of these spammers though.
