We are plagued by a bot that gets around Google Captcha a few times a day and makes an account. It seems like the last name always ends with two or three upper-case letters. No real customer would enter that pattern. Others have seen this I'm sure.
It seems to me that somebody must have made a string recognition script to spot this end of last name upper case sequence pattern and prevent form submission because it is such a nuisance, at least for us. Has anyone seen such a script that I could drop into Phoenix 1.0.3.1? Thanks!

Replace recaptcha with mathcaptcha. It works:

I can confirm that. I was getting many fake accounts from Zimbabwe. Not one since installing Mathcapture

Re: Preventing account creation by last names with YyyyyyyYY pattern
Thank you for trying to help.
I don't think the add-on is compatible with Phoenix 1.0.3.0
For one, there is no 'hooks' directory in includes/languages/english.
I created the directory and added the files, and the result was simply subtraction of the submit button on the registration form. I guess that's one way to do it!
Thanks anyway. It was worth a try!
