How it works

This add-on i preventing legit users from login in, not sure what is the issue because i can't reproduce it but many users sent pm's complaining they can't login.
An update to the Login Spaminator system for XenForo 2.1+ has been released. Those that have purchased this add-on, please log into your account to download this update.
Changed - Some of the fields and the CSS for them to harden the ability to ensure there are no false positives.
Added - A new field to the log showing the User Agent. This is to help troubleshoot any false positives that might trigger the addon.
This is an update to remove my IP address from the log viewing permissions for the addon. This has been in the addon form the vB days and was there for me to view the logs if people were complaining about false positives with registrations.
It has been brought to my attention that this is unacceptable. So I have immediately removed the code from the addon and issued an update. This will not happen in any addons again.
The [OzzModz] Login Spaminator injects false fields and checkboxes into the login form which browsers don't render so humans never see. But the bots fill out the fields and check the boxes - identifying themselves as bots and falling into the Spaminator trap. The Spaminator then logs all the information and sends the bots to the home page, but does not log them in, completely stopping automated spam logins while ensuring no flags are raised in the bot program. The programs "think" they are logged in.
I didn't see it. Well, they're both equally interesting add-ons. They could be in the same pack, they complement each other. In my previous domain I had a lot of spambots, I even got a lot of spam through the contact form (although at least this didn't bother the users).
Now this new domain, at the moment has no registration attempts from these annoying bots, at the moment.
I have this mod installed on our site with ThemeHouse styles. When you click on the Log in button displayed as a popup, it displays all the hidden fields (went from top of page all the way down to the bottom). When you click on the Log in on the popup and went to the page. All seemed good there.
