added users caught in spamblock bayes

[ju]

Several people contacted me because they could not register as authors in my blog. I checked and did not find anything in the logfiles, neither apache-log nor spamblock-log and spamblock bayes log (and added them "by hand" if applicable).

Now I tried myself and found that everytime I enter the requested letters / digits, I get new captchas and the text says: "You did not pass the anti-spam tests. Please check if you entered the CAPTCHA correctly." (I really think I did)

Then I looked in the admin-interface at "spamblock bayes" and found my attempts in the spam. Maybe it was not a good idea to use the nick "test3" anyway: I "restored" the entries and now I have them in my "comments" list (where they should not be in my opinion). But, as no notification mail was sent, the registration will not work.

Is there a way to protect the user-registration from too much abuse and still make it work? (I used to run it withough spam-protection for a long time, but started getting several dozens of abusive registration attempts every day, so I turned on "use captchas")

What really amazes me is why I don't find the attempts in my apache-log.

I am using s9y 1.6.2, Spam Protector and Spamblock Bayes are installed.

If you want spamblock to listen on sent captchas, place it after the sending plugins (and save the plugin list). In this order: User Self-Reg, other Captcha related Plugins, Spam Protector, for example.
