Using profile options to thwart registration spam bots?
 

I was reading this thread in the 3.7 forum, but thought I'd ask in 3.8 to be sure it works for 3.8...

What I came here looking for is a way to use a simple question that only a true human (and esp. one w/ a mastery of English) could answer in my registration page that would thwart reg bots or farmers.

A question like, "Spell the current US presidents name backwards". So, if you enter "amabo" you can continue registering.

So, in my search I found the thread noted above. Here's the money quote:
Quote:
Enter this in the regular expression box by going to

AdminCP > User Profile Fields > User Profile Field Manager > Company > Edit > Regular Expression
What I don't get (and this may take a bit of code hacking?) is I couldn't get it so that its shows up in the registration page ONLY AND must be correctly answered there and never again anywhere.

Any help is appreciated!
