Well am using iportalx a portal system that off the webwiz. Am increasingly faced with spammers registering on my forum despite IP Ban and they dont seem to stop despite Captcha and or the usual security option.
So i just thought of something today and i hope its one as good as i think it possibly could be - and the idea is to send some false activation code link along with the one genuine link that a human need to click in order to activate the account ( say 4 false link + one genuine link ).
The idea being if the bots click the false activation code then the email id is automatically added to the ban list; while clicking the genuine link requires human challenge to understand and then click it - the human challenge could be as simply as " click the red colored activation link" or randomly asking one to select the particular numbered activation link.
Is this idea workable and of any help?
