the bigger question is where are you having issues and more importantly what version of vanilla are you using.
spam applicants:
try
http://vanillaforums.org/addon/addregistrationquestion-plugin (this is a replacement for botstop in 2.1).
and read description in the above plugin (for other addons)
as well as this.

the best plugins are the one that work for you. It doesn't matter if it works for anyone else.
try different ones to solve specific issues.
everyone has things that work for them that may not work for you and vice-versa.
I may not provide the completed solution you might desire, but I do try to provide honest suggestions to help you solve your issue.
Thanks a lot.

version 2.1 and it's mainly in signup form.
i have added the question plugin by you in my signup form, hopefully it will stop some of it.
is there any option to add more than one question, like random questions every time instead of just one question?
I took out the random number question, it was just harder for normal users and not terribly difficult for bots using brute force. just pick a decent question to ask.
you can also block some troublesome spammers with registration restrict logger .

then if something works you can add your results to

and
http://vanillaforums.org/discussion/26703/plugins-themes-that-work-and-don-t-work-in-vanilla-2-1/p1
you can also add to the list any plugin you use or tried (don't worry about duplicating answers) - many people are asked to do it - few take a minute of their time to do it, to help the community.
