None of the bots have beaten my Stop the Registration Bots hack on my forums.

We have not had to deal with any spam and we have collected and the spammer's email addresses in the process to feed to the spam agencies.

Have a good weekend folks.

I coded and use Stop the Registration Bots.

No spam has gotten trough and we can collect the offending email addresses for reporting of spamming.

I coded it when a similar problem like this existed and I saw IsBot which was reported as beaten.

I will support it and update it if it's beaten. I already have a couple of new strategies should that occur.

thank you.

anybody know how to change the message when you stop registrations?

I want new guys who try to register to contact me by e-mail.

That's in there. It's a note comprised of phrases.

changed registration to question/answer, seems to have worked, i wonder how can i have them answer more than 1 question.

People from China always come to my board. However, not one has succeeding at registering. And since I put up block the time zone differentia modl, I haven't had one on my site all day.

I seem to go through phases with them. I had a time where I wasn't getting any for a few months, now in the past two days I've had about 6 of them. I might take a look at the Q/A registrations as well.

If you install the NoSpam! modification, you can have one question (no need to make your legitimate registrations jump though hoops) but you can have it rotate through them AND use ReCAPTCHA at the same time. As I mentioned in another thread just a second ago, it's also useful in that you can add multiple questions in bulk, not one at a time. I have quite a few questions now, and I add more every now and again to keep things fresh and the bots guessing.
