I've been specifically, a spam fighter and a botnet fighter for over ten years. I specialize in it. I am a long time XRumer license holder and keep up with every facet of its development. It has no way to program delays and adding that won't be happening, for the reasons I've mentioned. They talk about it in their dev areas. It's simply too problematic and counter productive, time is the essence of mass botnet spamming. Hardened targets mostly just get ignored since XRumer also has no alerts for you if you're not getting registered. (Who would be reading 10s of 1000s of these a day, anyway?) Especially with the option your mod has, telling them thanks for registering but no account was created.

ETA: Oh, I should have mentioned, this mod doesn't actually have false fields. That is something that someone mentioned way back on the first page, I think, but I never did add it. But when you talk about programming bots, that seems like a more difficult problem than the time delay.

Perhaps it's my misunderstanding, but what's this plugin you have in it, then?

PHP Code:

Time Check - Add Form Hidden Fields  register_form_complete 


The code there looks like you're adding a false field?
