because I have currently a lot of spam registrations I checked my server access log and found one log very often:

It seems that someone is using xoops_redirect to burden my system, maybe to make spam registration possible, I dont know.
but my question: how to treat this problem? would it make sense to implement a filter to remove the additional xoops_redirect in order to avoid looping?
what do you think
