*always brings up this forum* ClubHabbo doesn't have this registrationg process, and it's kept me on there for now :/ Removing is definitely a course of action, you just have to find a way to do it.

But yes I agree, the dreadful thing needs scrapping.
As long as people report the spam bots and the Moderation Department can keep on top of it, then I have no issues having the "Moderated Group" turned off.

I don't think many other forums use the "post approval" system, and I can see where people are coming from when they say it can be annoying waiting for your posts to be approved. Even if the post is approved within say 10-20 minutes, then the new member is still unable to have a proper conversation etc, and they would probably go offline anyway. xD
I'm sure the Moderators could keep on top of it! :D
If not then I agree that some kind of "kaptcha" system could be set up at registration or something? That would hopefully get rid of the spam bots.
How does a spam bot (computer?) get past a captcha though? :SQuote:

Show me a robot that can read every kind of handwriting kthx.
You kinda answered it yourself, some robots can read the handwriting and determine the letters. If they don't get passed it the first time, they do they next one (like a person would do). The most advanced CAPTCHAs are updated frequently with email addresses, URLs and IPs which stop bots from getting passed the CAPTCHA, but it depends if vbulletin, or Habbox Forum, have these available.Quote:

The software the spammers use, if the bot is unable to get past the captcha, the software asks the user to enter the code themselves. Simples :).Quote:
