I get about 5 to 10 BOTS registering on my site a day. Has anyone developed a hack to add an image file in the registration process? This is how VB is trying to slow this type of spamming down.

I'm running 6.7.3 with everything checked in the control panel, except the Moderation Queue. I get about 10-30 new registrations per day, so I'm not checking that box just yet.

Some common things these BOTS are using is the same birth date; March 28, 1983. And most are coming from .info domains.

Is there a way to ban all DOT INFO domains?

Any other ideas? The image file would be the best way to slow this down. But if there's no hack, I understand.

Thanks,

- Bill
