Can you not implement a captcha of some sort?

yeah but it ain't even that hard to read. from the small research i've done... it looks like bots can completely bypass the registration page - like... they don't even really visit it. it just submits the information.

i already made the mod to the reg page that deletes the URL section of the form... so if the URL gets transmitted, the forum automatically bans that user. only now, i think bot pushers realized this, and just don't put a URL in.

spam is positively one of the DUMBEST things in the entire world. it seems like the biggest waste of time from sending it out, to deleting it. the sad thing is, it must work... otherwise people wouldn't do it, i guess.

i've learned from working at s3 that the world runs on advertising... even the shitty annoying kind.

just to burst your bubble. you won't get to ban people, only fun thing is ability to edit people's posts in the forum you mod. oh, and the secret handshake.

Hey Randy, just for future reference, that hoobeejooby is called a captcha.

Re-pruned bot members again.

I added a new field to the registration page - you have to answer an extremely easy question to register. Hopefully this'll help.

Oooh... I just did another mod that keeps unregistered users from viewing the memberlist and user profiles... no more bots spidering for our e-mail addresses!
