Snitz needs visual verification when new users are signing in. Often new users wants to write immediately after they registered, and if I put them on hold waiting for my approval they don't come back.
Is someone working on a plug-in for visual verification or does it already exist?
On another forum I have (not Snitz) visual verification of registering new users have proven to be a very effective anti spam measure.
With visual verification I mean that you have to copy graphical numbers in a box in order to be approved<
Also, if you search for "CAPTCHA" (a CAPTCHA is what you are looking for, and what you will usually find it listed as) you'll find a couple more that haven't been put up on snitzbitz.com (to the best of my knowledge)<
Bear in mind, though, that CAPTCHAs do not currently meet any standards for accessibility and they are no substitute for e-mail verification or admin approval; spammers will still be able to register on your forums manually.
