INTRODUCTION
------------

Spambot protects the user registration form from spammers and spambots by
verifying registration attempts against the Stop Forum Spam
(www.stopforumspam.com) online database.
It also adds some useful features to help deal with spam accounts.

This module works well for sites which require user registration
before posting is allowed (which is most forums).
