You can blame Joan for my finding this place, if she hadn't posted elsewhere I'd never have known it existed!
Given how much tw*t filters through twitter, and how much... how to put this is beyond me... f*** goes through facef**k I'd say you're streets ahead of the all of them
Sigh, now I have to consider banning Joan for leading you here...

Not sure that I'm translating all the asterisks correctly but thank you I think...
Actually I added another level to the security of the site in relation to robot spammer registrations. If a new user clicks to register they do not actually go to the registration page for the forums. They go to a page that I wrote that gives a bot test that is not all that easy to beat. This test page must be passed before the actual site registration is even reached. Take a look if you wish...
regtst.htmlHaven't worked on in a while to perfect but I have also developed a form of CAPTCHA that uses a video file as the hint. You have to enter info from the video to pass.
Of course none of this works against an actual human spammer but killing spam bots helps a LOT!
