We receive the following requests from bots: POST /?q=user/register

But our site has clean URLs enabled and human users never get to non-clean URL pages.

Proposed solution: stop form submissions on non-clean URLs when antibot is enabled on that form.

This is very interesting. I would ask two things:

1) Make this admin-configurable so it can be disabled.
2) Port to 8.x since 7.x is no longer being supported.

There isn't any plan to support the 7.x version and I don't think clean URLs is a very big issue anymore in Drupal 8/9. I haven't seen any serious web owner still using nonclean URLs.

@klausi, @mstef feel free to open the issue again if you think we should spend time on having this feature in the Drupal 8/9 version.

Attaching a re-roll of the patch along with a possibility to disable this by setting a variable.

Given that still a lot of people use the 7.x version of this module, I'll apply the patch and test it.
