I put a relatively simple maths problem as part of the new user registration. Complete
elimination of spammers. New members do not have a problem registering. Make the
problem simple but with 5 or more steps e.g 5 +13 -7 *2 -2 * 0 =??

Sarcasm?

If so, I did link modifications on there as well. And if you want more information on spam, do a search.... you'll find plenty

^^^ I don't think he was sarcastic, I think he simply refered to options that should have been set right at the begining. If anything, I appreciate your link because I have the same problem. I set image verification with 4 of the 5 boxes if this doesn't stop the spam I'll do question and answer and block mail.ru

Theres so much info on here about spam and how to beat it, If you do a search you'll come up with some brilliant articles and posts.

Different members have different ways of dealing with spam, and each has a story to tell.

Another tip is don't let the differnce in mod versions put you off installing a spam mod, Many spam mods working on 3.6 will also work happily on 3.7 and 3.8 Try it and see.

Personally myself the best hack for stopping spam on my forum is the "Is Bot" mod, That alone stops 99.9% of bots and works a treat for me.

I wonder if anyone has started up a Viagra and Porn Marketing forum, I bet they would get 1000's of sign ups daily and a very busy forum :eek::D:D

Good Luck buddy with your fight against the Spam, But all the help and info is here, ready to be read https://vborg.vbsupport.ru/search.php ;)

Thats true :D
lolz

But.. now i read the article by BlueNinjaGo

AND it worked..

No viagra and porn advvertising.. now... :p

But i wonder,
these spammers .. they register, put an avatar, customize their profile, add siggy.. and everything.. then they start spamming :D
and we ban straight away..

they waste lots of time on it... :confused:

Anyway thanks for letting me know abt the Is Bot Mod.. i will have a try on that aswell

Thanks buddies

:)
