[OzzModz] Registration Spaminator Stop Spam Bot Registrations 2.3.0

This addon is another tool in fighting spam bot registrations at your forum.

The [OzzModz] Registration Spaminator injects false fields and checkboxes into the registration form which browsers don't render so humans never see. But the bots fill out the fields and check the boxes - identifying themselves as bots and falling into the Spaminator trap. The Spaminator then logs all the information and sends the bots to register-complete, but creates NO account, completely stopping automated spam registrations while ensuring no flags are raised in the bot program. The programs "think" registration was successful and quite often immediately try to log in to the nonexistent account!

The [OzzModz] Registration Spaminator works with and regardless of other anti-spam measures but also makes them all obsolete, proving the worthlessness of captchas, puzzles, questions, timers and the like, by STILL catching bots while all of this annoying standard anti-spam miscellany is still active. And it won't interfere with any custom fields you have on your register form.

[OzzModz] Registration Spaminator is completely independent and doesn't rely on any third-party databases, lists, or IP blocking. It presents more opportunities for the bot to slip and prove it is a bot, for better defense from automated spam. So we can combine multiple checks as opposed to only one CAPTCHA/ReCaptcha and/or a question or two per form. This gives huge advantage to [OzzModz] Registration Spaminator.

Since programs like XRumer have defeated CAPTCHA/ReCaptcha, email verification, Q&A, timers and many other spam blocking techniques, [OzzModz] Registration Spaminator brings a whole new set of checks the bots will fail.
