Hi Dante,

How did you accomplish the 2 part registration

I (and others) are being inundated with Bot registraitions
We run databases (AnimalPedigree) that use xoops (mine runs xoops 2.4.5)

These people are perpetually registering (10 times a day) as loan or credit or cash .... accounts/usernames

Listing usernames as not allowed that contain these words has failed and are still registered

I have tried forcing the requirement for admin authorization, but this is bypassed too

they are authorized before i ever get to see the e-mail request

I'd like some system of preventing such things

hope you or someone can help please
I am NOT xoops literate and only mildly PC literate

Regards
Malcolm
