How is it possible?

I checked the mod, tried to register and the protection seems to be working fine BUT somehow, the spambots manage to get through it like they were humans. How comes?

Side Question: Is the mod supposed to work ONLY when the "User Registration" is set to "User Confirmation" and NOT when is set to "Admin Confirmation"? Or should it work both cases?

* Make sure you've changed the questions. Those with the answer "yes" or a color name are bad.
* Give a link to your forum, I'll try to guess what could be wrong.

The MOD works in the both cases.
