Avoid Register Spam with countdown

Walys

Hello

In XenForo have a cool option to avoid Register Spam especially for bots.
When someone go to register form, the final registration button is hidden and the user view a small countdown in seconds. When the countdown ends, the button to finish the registration appears.

There is something similar in flarum?

Walys So you want something like time wait 3 seconds to sign up ?

Walys

1Dot Yes! I think this is a good idea for spam bots and not have a problem with "captcha" to normal user

You could absolutely make this as a Flarum extension.

Implementing this in the frontend assumes the bot is using a browser. It's more challenging if you also want to protect registration through the REST API.

clarkwinkelmann Unfortunately my level with code is very poor and basic.
I am not able to do an extension but I try to give some ideas to get better Flarum in case someone puts it into practice with something else.
