Not good idea for those who are deaf...

Spambot should go to bed for Bad Behaviour, with no supper, but seriously I do use that on Wordpress! :)

No, when I mean I'm deaf...I'm seriously deaf in both ears, I become deaf when I was 3 years old...

We know that, Dismal. But I think you should be less upset/frustrated about people treading this lightheartedly. They're not making fun of deaf people at all, and certainly not of *you*, you can be sure of that.

I know you're not deaf for that. If you feel offended, sorry. It wasn't my intention at all...

Anyway, anti-spam should not use sound only but I'm happy with  Bad Behaviour in Wedge

OK, right now, here's what we have.

9 or so CAPTCHAs, originally designed and written by me, using a variation of the code base as visible on arantor.org on registration. Some of them are animated, but the thing is, the variety of images really kicks out bots.

I also added Bad Behaviour as discussed, though I need to update to the latest version because I integrated it directly.

I do plan to rework the audio CAPTCHA too because right now it's actually almost as vulnerable as SMF's main CAPTCHA is.

I know many spambot can read javascript, but how many of them can execute javascript?

And if you make it dependent on JS, any device that can't use JS is excluded which rules out some smartphones.
