Stop bots from registering with elegant methods that do not bother humans (these mechanisms are described in more detail below):
Various types of hidden honey pot traps (and other types of honey pots that are not hidden fields).
StopBotters API request to detect known Bots (optional and logged).
JavaScript Detection (optional and logged).
Dynamically ordered registration fields.
Registration Field names which are different for every session.
Basic Proxy Detection (logged).
User Agent (logged).
Browser Plugin Detection (logged).
In addition, we now have 3 secret ingredient methods to catch the new wave of bots that bypass classical honeypots and APIs:
Detected as Non Browser Bot
Detected as Browser Bot
Detected as Semi Automation
The methods for these will not be disclosed (to mitigate spammer research), they just simply detect the new types of bots.
Works with the free add-on [TAC] Any Spam Api (designed for this add-on, but can be used as a stand alone), so any supplementary API you want can be added to prevent registration.
Note: even without AnyApi, this add-on currently blocks 100% of bots.
