Enhanced Captcha Image Verification - stop bots from signing up!!
version 1.11

add-on from

http://www.vbulletin.org/forum/showthread.php?t=132482

thanks to Dave Le for finding this.


Purpose : Add extra Image Verification to the registration process, using an alternative system to the Captcha system.

Why : It would appear that spammers can now "read" the Captcha codes and overcome the verification process.

Yo Ceech. We really need to do more about these spammers. They are out of hand. Almost seems like you can't trust any NEW user. Been watching for where their stats show they are from but some seem like they could be legit until "WHAM!" they hit.

:confused: too frustrating!

i know. i know a lot of us moderators are deleting tons of spammers. i think there are some really sophisticated robots out there spamming, or maybe there are just some really fast typers. either way, blocking their IP will help.
