Can you try registering and see if it works on your end? I'd be happy to paypal you and/or compensate you for your time.....

Perhaps you do not have GDLib installed?

There's a lot of plugins that have spambot countermeasures. Some of them are during the registration process (NoSpam!) and some are after the registration process.

I'm developing a plugin that scans the first X (usually 1 or 2) posts of a user and look for "clues" that might make the user a spambot, and then it takes certain actions.

Perhaps you do not have GDLib installed?

What is this and how do I get it ?

Send an email to your host requesting the installation of GDLib.

Some of them keep it off for security reasons
