VIP Code suggestion for spamming users

Hello guys, Dunno where to post this . well Since a lot of spamming took over the forum recently, I'd like to suggest the implementation of "VIP CODE", which is an add-on to PHP that asks new users to find a VIP code located somewhere in the forum, basically is a verification method to avoid this kind of spamming, because the image verification has been proven that it doesnt work very well If you need more info about this let me know, I have installed in on my website and no more spam anymore! Cheers, Javier

Hi Javier - sorry I've only just noticed your post. So far it's under control - the new php allows for quick removal of the spam, unlike before when you had to delete each one. ;) Thanks for the offer I'll get back if I decide I need it :) cheers john
