Is there a way to silently drop any pending member that provides a gender of 1? by silently drop I mean don't output an error just delete the record. All the span I have gotten thus far has provided a gender of one so this would eliminate all spam for me.< |

you'd be surprised... a handful of bots have made it past similar measures I've made. (namely Shaggy's Birthday MOD) They've all been caught by the e-mail validation though.
Please don't misunderstand: I'm not trying to discourage this. (I'll be putting it to use myself) While it will work for the vast majority of the idiots out there, someone will figure it out starting this whole game of cat and mouse all over again.< |

I'm just trying to find out where you need to add the code.< |

if strEmail = "1" and strRestrictReg = "0" and gender <> "1" then< |

So what you need is a change to the registration code. Are you using email validation / restrict registration?< |

Well hopefully it's automated so they wouldn't figure it out, but I'm using MS Access 2000 using virtual path. What I was think was that when the bot registered the code would check the gender field just as it would check that the password to match or the email address not to be in use but it wouldn't throw an error the code would just silently drop the request and delete the bot from the database.< |

No code for that, probably you could just use a SQL statement. What database are you using?< |
