Does this actually work ? Can someone suffering from these spambots recommend it ?

My forum is getting it ten fold, its not a matter of being just pain as some have stated, they are posting porn pics every 10 minutes on my forums.

Its getting to the point where the forums will have to shut down because its high profile and highly embaressing.

Speaking to people at Digitalspy.co.uk they don't seem to suffer from is using older version of Vbulletin and it never seems to happen on UBB.

Anyway I hope this solution works, its pain that users have an extra layer during the registration process.

Plus I wonder how accessible image verification is. I'm not sure what the laws are in the US but in the UK sites have to meet accessability criteria.

thanks
