I am certain for now this is precisely what happens, until there are enough sites where they are starting to investigate why they no longer can register as they 'used to'. The whole spam, anti spam is after all a whack a mole game. It was that for many years and will be for many years to come. So basically a fair assumption is that over time spambots will learn that it is much more effective to wait for 'x' seconds and then send the registration screen back. That would be a simple change in the spambot and over time they will do that. Its just a question when, not if.

There is no log file, although I've been talking about it for a long time. At this point I don't think there ever will be one, but who knows, I might get motivated some day to release an update with a few new features.

I would offer my help in getting a log file into the mod if nothing else because I'd love to have it and I am fairly certain some other folks would be able to get some insight as well. e.g. Right now I believe its about 70% yahoo.com addresses responsible for the spam registration attempts, but I'd love to be able to have real data, not just "gut" data.
