AJAX Register feature recommendation

Understood totally Emir, waiting patiently.  It looks like Google updated their reCaptcha code yesterday, now some words are white with black outlines. Hopefully that will slow down the BOTS for now.

Had another idea around this Question/Answer feature. vbBulletin allows you to enter several Question/Answer (I think it's 5) that are shown randomly with registration. This way BOTS cannot be automated for your site b/c they never know what the question will be.

That's what I had in mind too.

excellent!

Emir I was going to let you know I found the following extension very useful for helping with the SPAM accounts. I assume your site is Joomla based, you might want to check it out.

Between it and the update you're considering for AjaxRegister + reCaptcha it should make anyone's Joomla site bulletproof.

I've used Ajax Register for some time now and like you guys noticed it being beaten in January.  I had it set for re-Captcha, then changed to the standard captcha that's built in to Ajax Register and both are getting beat. 

My site is set up the following way:

Joomla 1.5.22
phpBB3 3.0.8
and RokBridge syncing the two.

phpBB3 registration has all spam features set and also has registration turned off so registration is only allowed through Joomla.

RokBridge works by letting phpBB3 use the Joomla tables, so a user registering through phpBB3 will NOT be carried over to Joomla, but a user registering through Joomla WILL be carried over to phpBB3.

All spam on phpBB3 is from users that also have account on the Joomla table so I'm assuming that it must be Joomla that is getting beat.

These do appear to be bot registrations looking at the time of posts made and the information in them.

The last several spam users are all from Russia, so I'm considering just banning Russia IP's.
