SPAM BOTS do not think. They process data. The simple solution is to create a question and answer. Then you do not need Image Verification. Look at the amount of posts in this and .com's forums about spam. Obviously its a problem on a lot of vBulletin boards. Perhaps vBulletin should rethink about adding the NO SPAM mod to their software.

It will be an ongoing fight.
For now this mod works, but when it is udes often enough, then spammers will produce something to crack it. And they will be able to, since the question has to be something everyone can answer.
