hi bdw.
Thank you for the reporting.

Some questions.

Is this a comment-spam?
Or formmail-spam?

Which modules are targetted?

Which kind of body?
Many URLs or not?

Was wondering though, surely there should be a way to catch the bot crawling the site before it registers? Protector can tell if a search bot is crawling so maybe something can be be added so it can detect wether a bot is looking specifically for regiser.php.

It is impossible to protect regitering by crawling patterns.
If you want to stop regitering from such a bot, you'd better try some kind of hacks of register.php like captcha.

Though I don't like captcha which is not gentle with visual handicapped people.


I think the best way is protecting via IP.
Any spammers have limitted IPs.

making RBL for XOOPS site will move such bots away.
although just a plan...
