Well, for me it does not increase spam. I have certain countries blocked from registering, and noticed a few today attempting to register. (see the screenshot)

They were not successful.

Furthermore, you can easily set a new usergroup for moderation using this mod which would make spamming a no go.

Personally this mod is exactly what my forum needed.

Very nice work Joe.

Any chance of having the rules section able to be toggled off? So only username and email address show up?

Thanks.

It could be done now with a template edit.

In the really_fast_reg_bop5_vb4 template change-

I'll look into making it a built in option in the next release.

I am trying to find a way to have it show up as part of the navbar,... either right above the navbar, or right below the navbar. Mainly because I want to see it on every page.

I have been playing with the hooks, but I cant make it work. :(
navbar_start
navbar_end

I'll update it this weekend to add this option.

Does this work with any spam software like these two

And if not can you make it work with them

retracted....thanks.... i posted right after your reply

It certainly doesn't work with the 2nd one and never will because the whole point is to register in a single click, so there is nothing to time.

I can assure you no one is using it to spam at this time. It has a built in option to customize the script name to help prevent future spam attempts.

Current spam software was never designed to recieve passwords by email and simply are incompatible with this script. I suspect it will be a long time, if ever, before this mod gets popular enough to warrant rewriting spam bot software.

As for the first mod I'm really not sure, it probably wouldn't block registrations but should catch spam if posted i a thread.

Maybe I'm doing something wrong, but it's showing up on forum_home even after I've signed in. What am I missing?

I forgot I hard coded it to always show to userid 1 when testing it. Will fix that in this weekends update.

I didn't want to forget it was installed and out-of-sight = out of mind.
