The first 3 letters or so seem to be the only requirement, the rest can be neglected or mistyped and the script still allows the user to continue...

well i have had this for over a week now i think and i was having 20+ bots a day registering and not confirming their emails and all this has stopped.

yes they will learn the script but until then this is working mighty fine for me
