Ok,..I have tried all sorts of things. And I read the other posts on this subject.

Has anyone been able to stop Bots from Automatically registering??

I downloaded and tried "GL_captcha_hack" but it kept breaking the lib-custom.

DIRK! Help!

I had to enable User Submissions. GL_captcha is probably your best bet. I haven't used it yet since I have enough trouble keeping track of the mods I have already done to my site . I'm hoping it will be incorporated into the next version of geeklog.

Thank you for your reply, however, there wasn't much useful information,..perhaps i'm dumb. But I did elude in my original post that I tried that "hack".

Perhaps there is a simple way to ban user submissions via a "@banned.com" function.

Here you can find my hack that automatically denies access to a list of email domains.

Not sure what I could add that hasn't already been said in the previous discussion.

Maybe pointing out again that most (probably all) those bots are coming from IP ranges belonging to "Beyond The Network America, Inc." and that blocking those IP ranges (see earlier discussion) seems to be the most effective way to block those particular spammers ...

bye, Dirk
