		<description>ALL of my spam registrations are still UTC -12,  not sure why this still wouldn&#039;t work for those... admittedly some may have learned to register in board time, but I&#039;m not seeing them. I&#039;ll being looking at the code and seeing if I can adapt this into phpbb 3.0.8 :)</description>

		<description>Thanks for this. I really appreciate it. For those who are having some troubles, look at this below: 

This looks like it only works with forums hosted with domains, etc, not one of those freebie forums like eAmped.com, informe.com, etc. anyway, 

1.) SEND the [includes/usercp_register.php] to anywhere on you computer, by using an FTP Program, Frontpage will do, CoreFTP Lite would do as well.

2.)  After you have saved it someone where on your computer, I HIHGLY recommend you do duplicate it and paste the same exact copy somplace else just in case you mess it up.

3.) Then right click on one of those files you saved and go [OPEN WITH] And Select Notepad, WordPad, etc, but I highly recommend Notepad.

4.) After you selected Notepad, Hit CTRL + F, and when the box shows up, type in ---&gt; SELECT MAX  5))
{
   $message = &#039;Sorry, you appear to have triggered our spam security system.  Please go back and modify some of the information and try again.To give you a hint, we only accept registrations from people based in (or near) the GMT time zone area.&#039;;
   message_die(GENERAL_MESSAGE, $message);
}


6.) Hit the TAB button a few time to make it align with the rest of the text. Look at this following image, just to make sure you got it at the right spot:

http://i17.tinypic.com/6cp7mg6.jpg

ZOOM in to see it.


Anyway, I hope this helped.

		<description>I might have to suggest this to a friend of mine who is having some spam problems.

Who knows it might actually work really well.

Thanks.</description>
