So far no new attempts to register when New Registration is turned off so I guess that's good news.

Is there a way to hide/spoof the url that's displayed for this? A URL rewrite so they can't just copy what's displayed in the browser and plug in the new URL into the bot.

I just wanted to add that this mod is helping allot actually. I was being hit with spambots every few seconds all day every day trying to register. So far after a few days Im down to about 100 a day. That's a big change, thanks.

Still, it would be nice to be able to hide the URL somehow. I'm sure it can be done but I'm no wiz with htaccess so maybe someone would be willing to take up the challenge.

I can't think of anyway to hide a URL that it would still work.

You might want to try blocking bots by user agent at the server level.

Here is an example on how you can achieve this:
