After seeing how many forums have been ruined due to this "chinese" spam-bot, the following code is a solution to help prevent it posting. The idea is to still allow guests to post but without the risk of the spam bot posting.
The code generates a series of letters and numbers, and for the post to be submitted, the guest will have to enter the correct set of letters and numbers which has been generated and in the same order. (with case sensitivity)
It has been tested for a couple of weeks now with a forum that has been known for this to happen and so far so good.
If there are any improvements, or enhancements or support you need, i would advise emailing me at killer_auzzie@hotmail.co.uk
Global Footers or in the relevant Board Footer

There is no way to prevent SpamBot postings, as most SpamBots have JavaScript disabled. It's also been posted around a lot of coding ProBoards that you cannot create a code to stop them. I assume it's because of the JS. Also, most SpamBots are guests, and just recently, ProBoards implemented just this code for Guests (only they did it without JavaScript... so, ya). EDIT: Here's a topic.
