texte = I have a signup form on a site that gets hit 3-4x a day by some kinda splog bot (used to be 1x every week or so). It sets up a profile and links to seo sites, all of which are plain old link farms.... I manually approve each signup, so it never becomes an active member... I know Yahoo uses text and number graphics randomly generated as a final item to be entered on a signup, and I've seen that same technique in php based message boards.... Anyone doing anything with webdna to prevent auto signups in forms? lester __________________________________________________ Do You Yahoo!? Tired of spam? Yahoo!
