Anti-Spam Options - kaPoW: anti-spam mod for vBB registration

Hi guys,

I created this mod to prevent spammers from creating multiple fake accounts on vBB. I'm available for supports There will be no noticeable change in user experience since everything is done by AJAX. You guys can use Firebug to see it clearer.

kaPoW plugin and reputation service that can complement existing anti-spam tools. kaPoW creates disincentives for sending spam by slowing down spammers. It uses a web-based proof-of-work approach wherein a client is given a computational puzzle to solve before accessing a service (e.g. comment posting). The idea is to set puzzle difficulties based on a client?s reputation, thereby, issuing ?harder? puzzles to spammers. The more time spammers solve puzzles, the less time they have to send spam. Unlike CAPTCHAs, kaPoW requires no additional user interaction since all the puzzles are issued and solved in software. kaPoW can be used by any web application that supports an extension framework (e.g. plugins) and is concerned about spam.
The kaPoW plugin's architecture:

There is nothing wrong with saying the mod I linked is better when it is. I always say it is better to tell the truth. Would you rather if I lied about it I am not that type of person. Sometimes the truth might hurt some people but they will never learn how to better them selfs if we all lie to someone who makes a new plugin. I might be up front so what this is the type of person I am. I say it the way I see it always best to be honest

Your wrong there, this say you installed a plugin from here (and I am sure you have some) and you found some bugs would you not post telling them about it or just stay "positive" as you say and not tell them about the bug or tell them the truth "being negative" as you say so it can be fixed
