Sure sounds like a bot to me.

I'd certainly recommend Mollom -- I've had less than 1% of the spam on my site make it through their filters. Mollom provides protection via CAPTCHA on user creation screens, but on regular content it analyzes the content and only presents the CAPTCHA if the content looks suspicious (thus there's no intrusion presented to most people most of the time -- nice!).

Jason,

How long have you used Mollom? Also, are you using the free subscription or do you have a paid subscription?

I've considered using Mollom but have been a little leery because of rumors of buggy code. Have you had any problems?

Thanks,
Curt

I've heard both good and bad things about it. -NP

That's one of the rumors I mentioned. However, that really doesn't give very much information to use for an informed decision.

Ok. Thanks for the comments. I am going to install the captcha module and only set it up for the registration form. Let's see how this works.

well I installed captcha but I get a message saying that my version of PHP doesn't support truetype fonts and the bitmap ones look wierd so I am only doing the math captcha and it's not effective. Assuming that the new users are bots the math captcha is not working :( New bogus users have reduced a bit as I only get 1 or 2 new bogus users a day now instead of the 5-6 I was getting before but I am hoping for something better. If the word captcha much more effective than the math captcha?

You might want to give reCAPTCHA a try. I don't believe that it should have any dependencies upon PHP for image creation.

Good luck,
Curt

Thanks for the tip. I installed recaptcha so let's see how it goes!

recaptcha seems to have done the job. Only legit users are registering now!
