Prevent automated signups
 

I know one's already been released, but some people can't install it because their hosters don't allow what's required.
Therefore, I've devised a new method which should be just as effective, but can be used by all.
I thought of putting a checkbox at the start/finish of the registration form.
If when submit is clicked, the box is not ticked, it should not register the user, but spit back an error.
Is this possible? Thanks.

Dave.

That can be easily automated so it wont do a very good job at all. The other hack has a problem also, the filename of the image that contains the anti-automation code needs to be hashed or you can just pull the name of the file and use that to fill in the box ... again, that can be automated.

There must be an easier method which is effective...

Dave.

Not to my knowledge sorry.
