The forum doesn't know if it trusts you yet.

Pretty much on the head.

I've tried 4 or 5 different methods to stop the spambotters, the last one is holding up flawlessly. That message is a remnant of one of the steps I took. I forced moderating the first few posts, and new users so that the spammers would never make 'live' posts.

I took that out around 4:30 DST, so it shouldn't be a bother now.

Two methods I have found to be the best against bots.

1. Advanced visual confirmation. Something where the background/image that the code is printed on isn't a solid color. Multiple colors, with "shadows" of fonts in the background.

2. Textual Confirmation. This is similar to visual confirmation, but it's much more versitle. You can have a question/statement on the registration where the user will have to answer it correctly. Can be anything.

2+2, are you a human?, what is this site name?, say hello, say i love hoser, ect...

Very effective.

yeah, I really don't mind that the first few posts are moderated. It sucks for the mods actually. I mod a different site and know how much of a pain in the ass it is.
