Has you board ever died on a flood of automated user registrations or password email reminder flooding by hacker tools like Jackhammer ?
Then this might be an almost foolproof protection against automated registration/bombing tools.
Automatic Flood Protection V2.0 SP1.3 English, Dutch and GermanThis mod adds once activated a random validation code the user has to type in at registration and lost password email reminder.
This registration code is again shuffled before validation so automated html scanners will not get the complete or correct code just grabbing the html page as the code is a graphical representation of the actual code.
