Or, a while ago, Trent mentioned he added a couple of fields to his registration form, and the bots haven't figured that out yet.</p> <p>Also, it seems like the bots all tend to fill out the interests and website, but users normally don't. Maybe you could add something to your template that says "Please don't fill out this field" that a bot could not read, would fill out, and then you could write a plugin based on that? </p> http://bbpress.org/forums/topic/spam-registration#post-11887 Sat, 10 Nov 2007 17:51:28 +0000 Trent 11887@http://bbpress.org/forums/ <p>Why would I want to stop spam registration?

The password is already e-mailed, so put in an activation link aswell. If not activated using the link in 1 or 2 days, the person wont be registrated at all.</p> <p>Many forum software have something like this, why not bbpress? </p> http://bbpress.org/forums/topic/spam-registration#post-11881 Sat, 10 Nov 2007 12:44:00 +0000 sambauers 11881@http://bbpress.org/forums/ <p>A plugin would be welcome. I doubt anything will be added to the core. </p> http://bbpress.org/forums/topic/spam-registration#post-11879 Sat, 10 Nov 2007 12:06:51 +0000 Null 11879@http://bbpress.org/forums/ <p>Can we PLZ get someting against the Spam Registration???
