An idea to stop some spammers
It might just be the guys that are registering on my site, but there seems to be a trend here.
During registration, I've added a custom profile field and it's required. It is called "Where did you come from?"
Well, the spambots automatically complete this field with their username. 95% of my spammer registrations do this. Most of their emails don't bounce and their IPs are all over the place.
Is there a way to test for this? Something like, "if profile field matches username then ban"?
Thoughts?
