Are you using captcha's for registering (an image you have to type over)?

If you are using captcha's, it's almost impossible that a lot of spambots are registering successfully on your site.

When you are still using vB 3.5: upgrade to 3.6 ;)
vB 3.6 has got a lot more captcha options to make them more effectively.

Yeah it's like 5 -10 signups a day, they are passing by the captcha thing.

I need a way to control regions, and also or block out certain email domains from regging is there anything for this can anyone help?

For banning e-mail domains, there's the standard e-mail blocking feature of vBulletin in the Options (User Banning Options) ;)

5-10? are you kidding?

they just typed the captcha.

10 is nothing. if it were a bypass you would have thousands.
