Doug,

I hope you don't mind calling you Doug lol..

No I honestly understand your concern Doug, but what I don't see is how this is a real security threat, you still have not explained to me why you feel that it's a security threat, you don't need to be registered on any site or forum if their intentions are to hack you. If someone wants to hack you they will do it.

One more thing, I personally believe that all of you guys who use these mods to combat spammers are actually inviting them to keep trying it by using them on your forums and sites. I don't use one single mod like Akismet, Glow Host Spam-o-Matic, StopForumSpam database, SpamBot Stopper, because when i did use a couple on that list I noticed even more spam attacks that before I used them.

Again, it takes a lot of hard work to run a website especially a forum and the use of these addons to combat spamm is like telling a kid they can't do something and they go ahead and do it just because you are telling them they can't.

And on our forums I don't have "un-moderated" registration like you say I do. Not one single registration has come from tapatalk ....
