I'm well aware of the capabilities of the auto-spam software. The part you might have missed is, each person who installs this Mod gives the register page a different name. It can be anything. And it will likely be as unique as the person installing it. It may or may not have the word "register" in it somehow.
If a spambot administrator wants to manually find the register page, he/she can do so like any legitimate human can. But as I explained, the auto-spam programs don't inform of failed registrations or the reason for them. And while typically hitting 1000s of sites each session, they don't take any time trying to discover if registrations fail to start with. Auto-spamming is all about automation and speed.
I accurately described this Mod as a "speed bump." But I also accurately explained why it's a better speed bump than most.
