==================
(Write here your question/remark)We require registration to complete our survey and turned on LimeSurvey's version of Catpha to register.

We are getting hit with many bot entries even though users must register with a valid email address.

Has anyone else ran into this issue or have any recommendations for preventing this type of issue?

What does "we require registration" exactly mean?

This? www.limesurvey.org/manual/Participant_se..._public_registration

In which form do bots manifest? How do yo know they are bots? Where is your survey published?

I mean bots are everywhere and if you post a link publicly, they will eventually find it. Also, they become more and more "intelligent" and it is not as easy as before to keep them out.

What is your version of Limesurvey?

I answer at the LimeSurvey forum in my spare time, I'm not a LimeSurvey GmbH employee.
