1700? 
Do we have this "if you want to register type these letters"-feature on this board? Ben |

can you do something where they register and confirm it with an e-mail. Won't stop it, but it would at least slow it down some |

The forum already does the email thing, which means about 2/3-3/4 are not released for usage ... still, a lot of the spam accounts are activated, so the email addresses exist (at least for a short time) As for the captcha stuff, I tried to get it working with the old forum version used here, but somehow the code's a bit messed up with all the addons I've included, so I can't really get it to work ... anyway, I added it on the 1on1 forum, and it didn't help much either ... only got it cut down when I added the "vip" code that required a person wanting to sign up to go back to the main homepage and look for the VIP code ... |

So how do they do it, it's robots that register right? How do they figure out the letters/numbers to type. OCR yes, but those letters are distorted...? Ben |
