Really?
That's a pretty lame excuse considering what the user experience is, as expressed in this thread.
Let's see what Jelsoft could add to vB, which won't be breakable by spammers.
- Time limit registration option (like "Is Bot")? A spammer doesn't know the limit I've set, so they can't fight that. And their scripts are tailored for speed, they won't wait 1 minute per registration.
- Checking of validity of email address. Not very efficient but it still traps spammers.
- Matching of entered Country with IP address Geolocation information. The ability to exclude some countries would be also welcome.
- Matching of entered Time Zone with the Time Zones of the country derived from the IP address?
- Check of registering IP address against known spammers IP addresses such as spamhaus.org or sorbs.net etc.
Care to tell me how a spammer would break through a spamhaus.org check?
One more thing: if Jelsoft thinks that an anti-spam strategy should include as many traps as possible (and I agree on that), how come it only offers one of Image Verification, Question & Answer Verification and reCAPTCHA™? Why not all? Let the admins select as many as they like.
