Not speaking on behalf of 9.9, but as for 9.82, I used recaptcha and it didn't stop fake registrations (nearly 600 per hour.) But when I installed the single step registration, it stopped the spam bots dead in their tracks. No problems since then. Of all the options in the newest captcha for 9.9, I rather like the mathematical question the best.
