And... No problem then with the false password field and the logging thereof?Yup - I used the original for a few years from 2015 onwards.

LOL. Well, this isn't an input field any human will see or be able to fill out. But I do appreciate the idea you're putting forth.Things have changed quite a bit since 2015 when I originally used it.
Removed the password input field and the logging of password field. This was done to ensure user privacy in case there is ever a false positive.

A normal user can definitely see ALL of them, when this addon is in "test" mode. Possible during that time, to have someone get caught by this.That's GREAT news. While I understand it's unlikely for a normal user to see these fields, it was the right thing to do to remove this field.
You don't have to tell me twiceRun naked!
Video of you runnin nekked or it never happened!You don't have to tell me twice
I checked our old vB4 stats when we ran/tested the old version of this on sysnative.com - 743,032 blocked spam registrations with the older version of this add-on! Stats from June 2015 - Jan 2019 on vB4.

After two weeks of running this on XF, we're already at 1,600 automated bots blocked from registering, and have basically eliminated our automated spam problem. We've cut automated registrations from around 10+ per day, down to 0, and we're back at the calmer no-spam levels we had when running vB4.
This is pretty much a must-have add-on almost any site - massively cuts down on spam, and we've yet to see an automated bot get through.
This is a semi major update. I suggest taking a backup before upgrading just to be safe.
I am really happy with the new look of the log, and I am pleased with the results of the new traps.
Removed
- Some unused phrases that were left over from previous fields and such.
- Unused code in some of the PHP files.
- Some de-funked template modifications
Changed
- The ipaddress column in the database from 15 characters to 45 to accommodate ipv6...
I've just installed the addon and set the log-view permissions for admins only, but I can't see any log. Does it need to catch some bot before showing up?
You should see the header, but yeah, in order to see results some bots need to be caught.
