What are the new security features in MyBB 1.4 to prevent spam accounts from signing up?

I personally wish for an integrated extra security question check.

I believe that MyBB 1.4 will have an AKISMET plugin, or something like that, which is a plugin that can be activated for dealing with spam. (See AKISMET site here for more info.) I am not sure if it will ship with the final MyBB 1.4 or if it will be an extra download, but it was included with the MyBB 1.4 Beta. Tikitiki I know was working on the plugin. Smile

Tikitiki's Akismet plugin (updated for 1.4) will be included with 1.4's release. You can download the Akismet plugin for 1.2 at MyBB Mods.
