BUT... I also use this in conjunction with the other anti-spam mods Ozzy and I recommend, here:

The Era of Big Spam is Over
Thanks Max

This isn't working on my forum.

To test, I set the minimum time to 60 and tested it out. It still allowed me to register?

I have BoP's rename register.php mod installed, does this conflict?

Cheers

That's way too long. Set at 25.

The best way to test this is not to try it yourself. Set the registration value to something like suggested, 25 seconds, make sure your email notification is setup, and wait to see the results.

So that's exactly what I did. I also tested it myself at 25 seconds and still allowed me to register.

Well, maybe I should have been more clear. If you set it to 60 to test, then you would have to register in less than 60 seconds to get rejected. (ET: ...and you'd set it back to something lower once you've run your test). But assuming you did that, then I'm not sure what's wrong. I've had a few people talk about having the same issue and I don't think any of them ever came back to say what the issue was (or maybe they never fixed it).

If you have any other registration mods, you might try disabling them temporarily to see if that works. Oh, and I've been told that it doesn't work using the mobile interface, and since I've never worked with that I don't know how to fix that.

You're telling me you were able to register in under 25 seconds?

In any event, the best way to test is to still wait to see what shows up in your logs. As a human, you should be able to register. That's the whole point. The bots who register in seconds are the one's who should be blocked. And you won't really see that until you have logs to look at.

We're assuming you have it enabled. Hate to ask, but Mods being "off" does happen.:D

You were able to register AND a account was created?

I am, yes. I timed myself from the moment I landed on the registration page. 19 seconds in total and account was created and I was able to log in.

Topcat I suspect you might have a hook conflict going on with this. Do you mind posting a list of all your plugins and Mods installed?
