Since its creation several years ago, some bots have created mechanisms to get around Easy BotStopper. User "barky" on phpBB.com, has created an addition to this MOD which will help fight the bots.

Some bots have recognised that if the website field is unavailable, then Easy BotStopper has been installed. To circumvent this, they cleverly, do not submit a website value. User "barky", from phpBB.com, has created a work around for this, which only humans can recognise. (note: this was submitted to me with hard-coded language, you may or may not want to edit this add-on to use phpBB's $lang variables)
