cheat-master30, you know that is ABSOLUTELY true. I did use simple math because that is what the so-called "experts" were recommending as well. But the Bots are more sophisticated these days and simple math isn't any problem for them as well as captcha displays that have a following of freaks who want nothing better than to break them publicly which is where the bots retrieve the info to use in the exploits. It is ugly for sure. Yes, indeed I do have an "autoban blacklist" that seems to work. I have not advertised, productized or even packaged it ( I have been monitoring my 3.7.0 system to see if it still works correctly, given the CSRF issues) yet as I don't want to have the badguys make ME their pet project but I would be glad to install it for anyone thinks it will help them get rid of the "mischievous monkeys" LOL
Send me a PM if you are interested in the details about it.
regards, mikesz
