Suggestion!

Post by z06vette387 »

Forum Adnimistrators and Moderators:

Just an idea to possibly prevent Spambots/spammers. I have noticed on other forums (HCA being one of them) that if you have a hotmail or yahoo email account they request that you provide info about yourself in the interests section on the registration page. Most Spambots usually use hotmail or yahoo accounts, at least that's what HCA said.

Just a thought though ;)

Actually, the spambots I've had use random domains each time, and have only ran into one or two hotmail and Yahoo ones. I'll look deeper into blocking those bots off, but thanks for the suggestion! :D
