For a while now, I've been getting 10-20 spam bot sign-ups per day. I fought them off daily for a few weeks, but it became futile.
This caused many REAL user signups to get lost in the shuffle. Sorry to those whom were affected.
I just implemented a new mod to the BB that should prevent bots from signing up as frequently. A side-effect is that I found it easier to implement by returning to the old default look and feel. _________________ --

Yes these things are a pest. I closed our forums because I was tired of dealing with them. Hope your new mob helps. |

Working like a charm so far. Blocked 5 today.
Notice the user count dropped from about 2.3K to what it is now. _________________ --

User 'TAMIFLUdoc' has failed to answer the Textual Confirmation question correctly. It might be a spambot, therefore the registration is rejected.

Don't need to nuke. This BB mod prevents them from even registering.
It has successfully blocked all 29 a-holes since I deployed it. _________________ --
