The Spammer just doesnt want to give up ......And since Russian email addresses can basically be created automatically with a script .....well i just had to ban the use of them on this forum

google, it sounds like a bot to me, had a few advertising poker on my forum a while back. I wound up installing a mod that added a field to the registration form asking "are you human?" which defaulted to no and stopped registration if non-yes.

However, this was a publicly released mod, and some bots were able to get past it, and my forum is much smaller so you would probably be better off hand-making your own security check and keeping it private to this forum so if anyone wanted their bots to get past it they would be targeting this forum specifically.

One thing I noticed while browsing the database, is a lot of bots had the same password hash. Other bots had the same URL in their profile (to raise their master's search engine stats, no doubt). Made for easy deletion.

Russian email addresses can be generated, but so could hotmail, gmail, yahoo, and thousands of other less-known, less secure free services.
