maro wrote: just an idea... register link is no link but in plain text -> user must copy paste it to browser to get to the register page. this would require a bot to read the link. to make it even less likely, use an image and force the user to type. the link would have to be different than the one currently used, something custom... like : roboforge.com/nobotsregister just in case you've not lost your mind already  Only 18 of them today. I think a person looks at the setup and the writes a script to automate the process. That's how I would do it. When I was studying this problem at work it looked like http://recaptcha.net/was the current "best" test. It uses words that couldn't be seen by OCR software. _________________ Homer: "God, why do you mock me?"

Interesting now the spammer is using older account, because she/he can't make new ones.
I delete all the user in the last 2 year that have 0 posts.

Still just that one new spam account. If it stays like this, I'm change it back to auto approve people when they sign up. _________________ Homer: "God, why do you mock me?"

It did take me a a few tries to get it, but I always have trouble with them. I also got 2 real people sign up with it. _________________ Homer: "God, why do you mock me?"
