Stopping Spambots registering

Postby Mike on Mon May 11, 2009 10:03 pm

Here is an idea of using Custom Profile Fields to stop spambots registering.

Custom Profile fields can either be set up as a dropdown box, easier for users to use, or as a type-in field.

1. Find the Custom Profile Fields in your Admin Control Panel

2. Use a simple 'Are you a spambot' type question
