An excellent plugin! I've been using the older version with vB 3.x for quite some time now - I had just upgraded last night to vB 4.1.2 and had to shut down all of my 3.8 mods and plugins. This morning I had a crapload of new registrations in the moderators queue - 99% bots <sigh>.

Thank you for upgrading this hack for 4.1.2 - I installed it in minutes and within seconds it was stopping the "bots".

Nominated

By the way, I have a number of fields for new members to fill out. For instance "Tell us something interesting about yourself" "How did you find us?" "What are your favorite bands or films", plus more. This takes more than 30 seconds to fill out, so this catches these bots easily (most filling the form out in a couple of seconds - I have this plugin set at 30 seconds). Some do slip through since there are "slow" bots, but since I moderate all sign ups, these are deleted no prob.
