Spam Attacks on Pending
Hi, my board is "http://www.aku-tenshi.com/oekaki/". And I've been having problems wtith spammers for the "view pending" part. I get people on the view pending list but they are mostly spammers, I get about 30+ of them daily.
I thought I would have fixed it when I upgraded "functions.php", so that I can ban IP's properly, but now the spams sign up without an IP! Please help!

Re: Spam Attacks on Pending
OK, I made a patch for "register.php" and "functions.php" that includes a humanity test. It's a simple random number problem.
Ah, I remember your login... I'll put it right up. To take a look, logout, and view the registration screen.
Let me know how it works out. If this is fairly effective, I'll include it in a future release of the board. I think it's about time I included a CAPTCHA test.
BTW, the reason why the IP address doesn't work is because spambots use proxies to hide their IP address. It constantly changes, so you can't ban them.

Hehe, I'm glad you still remembered me!
Well, it worked!
But sometimes(I asked other people to test it out also), it showed this:
Warning: extract() [function.extract]: First argument should be an array in /home/akutensh/domains/aku-tenshi.com/public_html/oekaki/error.php on line 13
Warning: Cannot modify header information - headers already sent by (output started at /home/akutensh/domains/aku-tenshi.com/public_html/oekaki/error.php:13) in /home/akutensh/domains/aku-tenshi.com/public_html/oekaki/globals.php on line 128
