XF 1.2 Server Error Caused By Spambot Trying To Register

[The Sandman]

Every so often I get an error like the one below. I'm assuming it's a spammer or spambot trying to register with a stupid long username (or it's trying to spam the server itself). Is the error correct behavior in a case like this or do I have an issue somewhere that should be addressed?

Its fine to ignore.

 

[Jake Bunce]

That appears to be the RegFormTimer addon failing to enforce field lengths before writing out its data. Contact the author.

@Chris Deeming, please improve it a little.
