When you say they're "getting past the PCRE thing", you mean before this mod was installed, right? (Or are you saying this mod was somehow letting them past)? Those patterns can be a little tricky, maybe the one you're using isn't quite right or something.

My thought was maybe that added to the time for them to register and I should take it off to keep the Bot in your suggested time frame of 20 seconds.

It shouldn't make any difference. I guess when a user fills out the form it does a call back to the server to check the name, but a bot would bypass that.
