Drupal Anti-spam Registration Question

Last year I had to add an anti-spam question to my PHPBB forum to prevent spam bots from signing up and wreaking havoc. Lately the same bot problem has crept up on a site I have running Drupal 4.7.x. So I resorted to the same solution, though this one is implemented as a Drupal module. It is very simple...the only thing you configure is the question and answer you want to use. Click here to see it, and follow the instructions in the comments. I hope it helps you.

Hi Mike,

a question for humans in the registration process would be great. But I am running Drupal 5.2 and don't see your module in the admin module list. It doesn't work with this drupal version, does it?

Regards,
Ayshe

Guten Tag, Ayshe. I have not tried the module on Drupal 5.2, so you are correct: it probably does not work. However, if you strip down a working Drupal 5.2 module, and add in the code from my 4.7 module, it would probably be easy to make it work. If I find some freetime I will try it.
