Nope. When they hit submit, it compares their IP / email address / user name against a list, and if they're on the list, no entry permitted. I believe they just come back to the registration page so they can change their user name / email address.
pedigree: in 0.7.0, can we now sort the log by all columns, and/or do a search on it? As a secondary suggestion (and I can see this somewhat being outside the scope of your mod, so if you agree, no biggie), maybe compare all people who were banned in the past month, and compare it to successful registrants in the vBStopForumSpam logs? This way, an admin can have a quick list to manually report to the black list (e.g. hitting a button to do it)? This would allow the admin to only report those who have banned because of spamming, and not violating other rules on the forum.
Come to think of it, if someone was PERM banned via an infraction (granted not many use infractions in this way I think), maybe this mod could somehow detect it and auto-report it?
Badger, the repeats are normal. It's the user screwing up, that's it. I see it all the time in my logs, and my register form is standard. They're just mis-typing or something.
Now, if the error was added to the log, that would be nice, although I'm not sure how much it would help to prevent spam.
