Human Verification
I'm just wondering, with all the spambots attacking FluxBB forums lately (well, maybe not all but still), think optional support for CAPTCHA or some other form of human verification could be included in the core distribution of FluxBB?

Re: Human Verification
I'd say, think official modification...
EDIT: On a side note, "official" might be a bad word, because it could sound like a fool-proof way to stop spam...

Re: Human Verification
Yeah, this has crossed my mind aswell some time ago. It would seem like a good idea to put a brake on spam.

Re: Human Verification
Would a modified registration form based on the Green Beast contact form work?

The only thing worse than finding a bug is knowing I created it in the first place.

Re: Human Verification
I have found people spamming the forum again and again with the same adverts using forum bots, I have now added Human Verification on all advert posts ensuring that only Humans can post on the forum & not bots!
I will be clearing up forum spammers over the next few days and ban tons of members that have been abusing the forum!
Time to get this forum back on track & back in shape!
Thank you for your continued support!
