That said, while I don't have a specific fix I do know somebody who might. I'm also an active member of Badcaps.net forums and we used to have awful spam issues but the admin (who I know personally) made some changes and now we legitimately have no spam. They do run Vbulletin, and a somewhat old one at that. I know recaptcha was involved at some point but otherwise I have no idea (as I'm no longer a Mod over there).
If it would help I could see what he did and let the Brandon know as potential fixes. (iread: Brandon or a mod PM me for details). |
That's definitely a concern. The way I'd go about it would be to only force that upon registration, and allow it to be changed as always after registration. However, the reCAPCHA would definitely work better.
