Default Re: Damn SPAM Bots

Well there is a technique using CAPCHA images but even those can be compromised. I've also thought about other options to prevent bots with certain email addresses from registering. I'm amazed that every day I return here to clean up the forum I find at least a half dozen names @mail.ru in the domain and the rest appear to be bogus hotmail accounts among others.

BTW when I said I was open to suggestions I mean suggestions to increase attendance and interaction in these forums. I have many good ideas but I can't move an inch without Mack or Als approval so I'm still in research mode.
