Well i have noticed that over the last 8 months, the number of spambots that keep visiting all my useual web hangouts, which are mostly forums has risen by a huge amount, and i have seen many people on thse forums talking about how to stop them, by adding all these little scripts and php add ons etc etc.
Now from what i can gather the only type of forum add on's that are working "for now anyway" to get the spammers out are the SMF fourms, but alot of the IPB and phpBB and some others are just getting raped by the spambots regardless of add on's and stuff.
So for those of you that are still getting prob's, or if you dont want to waste your time adding other scripts, maybe you should give this a try, as i know it works because a friend of mine has done it on his very populer smiley forum It won't stop all of it but it will stop most people who normaly use a language based on glyphs (like chineese) and only have a rudimentary knowledge of western languages.
It should stop mosts bots though.
They won't know if a particular letter should be read from the outlined letter or from a solid filled letter.
You just need to change the registration font.
Use an outline font like ransom.ttf
The bots and most chineese can't read that and so can't complete the registration.
hope this helps some of you out......thx again phil.
