Well, I had a web site for a while that I started as an extension to an old one I shut down and while it sat there for a while it never really seen any use and about 3 weeks ago I decided to get it back up and updated, fix a few things and try to get it off the ground again. Well, about a week and a half ago it got FLOODED with spammers out of no where that signed up and bypassed my Q&A and everything out of no where and these accounts even had avatars and everything but made like 900 posts to my forum in a matter of 18 hours. I dont know if once a site has been easy to get onto they flood it or what but its was insane the amount of accounts that registered. After a good few hours of cleaning up that mess I went on the hunt and in a topic at phpBB I seen a link to this and I have to say, so far in a matter of the 12 hours I have had this installed, I have received 24 emails saying it blocked users/bots trying to register. I am going to be looking at different ways to get my Q&A to be a bit tougher for bots but for now, this is working awesome!!! Huge thank you for this.

1. Is this an AUTOMOD?
2. Will this add alot of modifications to the phpbb files that it would make upgrading in the future difficult?
3. ANY KNOWN BUGS that I might need to be aware of for use on 3.0.12 ?

Thanks very much
