How does the anti-spam MOD work?
Registrations
To protect phpBB3 from spam bots MOD tests new user registrations and captures an array of data describing the registration (Nickname, Email, IP-address, used time zone, support for JavaScript, time taken to complete the form) and sends the data via XML RPC to server pool moderate.cleantalk.ru.
The server tests the Email, IP and Nickname of the new user against the blacklist and analyzes the length of time to complete the registration form. Upon completion of all the necessary checks the server sends a decision to the forum - enable or disable user registration.
