I used anti bot when I had 1.12 and when I upgraded to 2.0.2 this weekend I liked the custom fields for user registrantion. I made it a requirement hoping it might cut down bots but it don't. They just don't answer correctly.  I guess I thought it might take the place of the areyouhuman mod.

But if the custom fields could require correct answers to complete registration it would kill bots!  I dream anyway. It would make it so we can ask custom questions per the custom user fields and if they are wrong registration is automatically denied.

For now I look and if the answer is wron I know they are a bot.

Thoughts?  I'm no coder but I'd pray this was easy.

Ex. My custom field is :What are you?
My drop down box answers are
I am a zombie (default)
I am a walrus
I am a modeler
I am a bot

My site is a modeling site. So the right answer is obvious. But a bot doesn't know it.

For now a lot of zombies are beating down my door.  But if their answer is wrong and it auto denied them my email box would be happier.

So maybe I should have read the "about this board" first. Doh!

Perhaps this would be better as a mod request?  But it would also be awesome for the next version of the boards. 2.1.
