One more point to make... MONTHS ago I posted that I solved the 'bogus registration' problem very easily -- a three-minute code change! Since December 2007 until now, our forum has had ZERO bogus/bot registrations. No CAPTCHA used. No IP blocking needed! How many Admins can make that statement? Yet, again... the methodology was belittled and/or condemned.
we can, and your little code change was not belittled , merely treated with suspicion as a fix, as it does not have the effect which you seem to think it has, a bot does not press a button based on what the button text says, it merely issues a form post using javascript, doesn't matter what the button says, a submit button is a submit button regardless of text displayed on it. And as can be noted from above, I was not the only person who wanted you to explain what your mod actually did, however, you completely blanked my question, not the sort of behaviour that is going to endeer you to the community, so maybe just respond next time instead of just assuming someone is trying to belittle you rather than gain an undesrtanding of why/what you are doing. I don't see any one condemming you, just asking pertinant questions. It is you who seems to be the one detracting and condemning.<

What the hell is with people getting upset over essentially nothing and deleting their posts?!?

Why? Because someone challenged your assumptions? It was because someone challenged assumptions behind the scenes that the recent coding bug was found and fixed. It was because of challenges that a better solution was found. What if Rui had gotten all pissy about being challenged and deleted his responses?
I'll stop there before I get irrationally emotional.<
