www.simplemachines.org will have your answers raxavier69. TP doesn't have anything to do with the registration or login functions of SMF.

x-rumer is a prolific spam bot.

You may want to investigate turning off registration for a short while and manually registering someone by way of email- it is a pain but about the only way to control it once you're been found by the bot.

I would also think of adding some registration mods for spam bot protection. Check at SMF for more info.
