Re: Idea for prevention of spambots

We're going to run with Akismet for a bit .. see if it does any good.

Now that I have the usergroup promotion mechanism in place (you have a probation period between your registration and the 'trust' criteria -- see below) I can add additional prevention measures on those new users with or without using Akismet. I could add image verification for new users, or more CAPTCHA, or anything ..


Criteria to become a trusted member (ie: not a spambot) is one of the following:

1) 1000 Reputation Points
2) 47 Days Registered
3) 15 Posts
