I have the confirm/type random letters function initiated but that still doesn't appear to deter the unwanted from registering. :down: I feel that if spammers are going to the bother of typing in the letters displayed then it's not going to be too much more hassle for them to answer a question, is it? :up: :down:

What I would like is just for checks to be done on their I/P and email addy at the time of registering and if either are found in the stopforumspam database then they will be added to my forum's banned list and the user deleted automatically. :up:

Is my way of thinking the best approach? Any comments most appreciated.
