Oh WoW! This is amazing, I have not received even one little bit of spam on my fairly busy forum, great work! :up:

No you can just import it from your own desktop. ;)

Very very good hack, installed!

love the question scheme... :D

What colour is a pig?:Pink:black
What does water taste like:nothing
Are you a bot?:no

:p

make up your own questions...

if everyone starts copying questions from each other they get easier to guess.

LOL
I thought the point was a bot cannot guess questions!!!

Lets make a competition... set up a testboard.. with really difficult questions.. the first one to be able to login wins :D

But more seriously...
I thought of another additional way to confuse bots...

I assume bots do not read css..
So this is what i plan:

somewhere on the page.. i add a captcha image and an input field..
all packed in a div.. with style: visibility:hidden
if anybody writes anything in this field .. he is automatically banned..

to register the "NoSpam" field is the only required..

is that a good or a bad idea?

Great hack. Installed. I've been having a huge problem with spammers recently.

I apologize as I am sure this has already been asked and answered, but I couldn't find it...

Does this hack remove the emails that we would get as a spammer is attempting to register?

We get the new user emails regardless of whether the new user has completed the email verification. This means the spammers aren't getting in, but we do get spammed by their registrations.

We have a few custom fields that we have people fill out - they seem to be filled out in the same pattern by these spammers, so I can only assume this is a bot. (like the question Biography: always has the answer "Man")

I want to have something that will stop even the emails from attempted registrations.

I installed the No Spam program 3 days ago and since installing it "which was very very easy" I am delighted to say that I have had not 1 spammer. Before installing it I was losing control. No matter what I did I was getting 8-10 spam post per day.

Thank you! Thank you! Thank You!

I've had this installed for a wee while now, and the last 4 days or so have started getting spammers signing up again. Any ideas?

yeah same here so I just blocked proxies from my site with a mod on here. think they found a way around it pretty fast
