KeyCAPTCHA Unique Technologies

Instead of guessing symbols, our CAPTCHA offers visitors to complete an easy interactive task.
If KeyCAPTCHA hasn't been solved correctly, page refreshing doesn't take place that allows the user not to fill in the form repeatedly. It occurs since there is an initial checkup of CAPTCHAs in the KeyCAPTCHA servers before sending a filled-in form to the protected web server.
Our CAPTCHA also can be used even if your hosting provider blocks all outgoing connections.

Effective Anti-Spam Protection

The geo-cluster is used to operate KeyCAPTCHA service. Our geo-cluster includes the servers located in diverse European data centers. Some servers are in the special DDoS stable data centers in Switzerland to ensure trouble-free 24x7x365 mode service operation.
KeyCAPTCHA blocks spammers using anonymizers or anonymous HTPP proxies to distribute a hand spam.
There is no info of correct CAPTCHA solution in the visitor's browser.
CAPTCHA verification is processed by the KeyCAPTCHA servers.
Data transferring between your web server, the visitor's browser and the KeyCAPTCHA server is protected by a digital signature.
112 to 165 bit variable length password is used to generate a digital signature.
KeyCAPTCHA is a code executable in the visitor's browser. It is not a static image as used in typical CAPTCHAs.
Having received our CAPTCHA, it's virtually impossible to transfer it to third parties in order to run any task what spammers also do bypassing typical CAPTCHAs.
Probability of guessing the answer by submitting a random solution is 1 to 30,000,000.
KeyCAPTCHA-used images are transferred encryptedly.

Compatibility
KeyCAPTCHA supports two operating modes: Flash and HTML5. The KeyCAPTCHA HTML5 mode is used in most modern browsers, such as Mozilla FireFox, Google Chrome, Safari, and also used in iPhone and iPad. The Flash mode has been developed to be used in Internet Explorer and Opera. While loading, KeyCAPTCHA identifies its operating mode depending on the visitor's browser.

There's a preview on www.keycaptcha.com (http://www.keycaptcha.com).

However, no matter how many times I try, I can't get the hunters paired with their dogs correctly. If I can't do it, then a lot of my potential registrations can't do it. Therefore, I'll have to pass on this.

You have to click the button after you line them up to test if you got them right. I got it to work on the first try. It doesn't seem to work in Opera 11 beta, though. It keeps trying to load.

Adobe Flash Plugin must be installed for the correctly work of KeyCAPTCHA in IE and Opera. At the same time Adobe Flash Plugin is not necessary for other browsers like Safari, Chrome, FF....

To increase usability of KeyCAPTCHA we have added a gray sample of right solution to all our tasks.

Well, on Opera 11 beta, the little flash circle just keeps in going. I can view flash on other sites fine. Also, some of the colors for the matches aren't real distinct on some of them on some monitors. The dog one is fine but it doesn't always accept it as good when I do it right. Looks like this still needs some tweaking.

JamesC70
12-05-2010, 12:02 PM
Boofo: I did click the button underneath. :)

KeyCaptcha: I think part of my problem with the hunters was that I read the instruction "place each hunter right to a dog" as simply "pair them", not "place the hunter behind the dog" as the revised Captcha shows.

However, other puzzles are not as strict. Here's two more that generated no errors:

Well, on Opera 11 beta, the little flash circle just keeps in going.

We identify a visitor's browser as Opera by searching "Presto" in UserAgent. Maybe it's not correct for Opera version 11 beta...

Today we are going to fix this problem.

So how are you able to provide this for free? What is the catch?

There is no catch. We have two additional fee-based services - Personal KeyCAPTCHA and Extended Account.

Personal KeyCAPTCHA:
You are welcome to use our standard set of KeyCAPTCHAs offered by our service for free. However, if you are willing to make your site really unique one, you should use our additional service Personal KeyCAPTCHA. This service allows you to create your own captcha which will have an ideal match with the look&feel of your site. If your site is on e.g. fishing you’ll be able to create a CAPTCHA where visitors of your site are offered to place fishermen in a boat. More information about Personal KeyCAPTCHA you can find at https://www.keycaptcha.com/whatisit/?s=pc

Extended Account includes the following services:

"Filtering of Anonymous Proxies" is a unique service KeyCAPTCHA . It allows to block messages from visitors using anonymous proxy servers. The list of anonymous proxy servers is updated every hour and contains thousands of unique addresses spammers usually use to work. This service drastically enforces the anti-spam protection of your site even against manual (by human) spamming.

Isn't one of the number 1 rules of web design that if you have to tell the user how to use your site, it's too complex? Whatever.

I, personally, really like vB's question functionality. I think I will have to pass too, though.

This is a great idea and has huge potential, but as it is, it's too complicated. I'm fairly certain that if you did a test of registration rates, some of the more complicated pairings (e.g., matching the horses to the carriages) would show a significant decrease in registrations.

It would also help a lot if the English were correct.

You might get more exposure on this if you release a VB4 version on vb.org and include stop spam in your title as many users will no doubt be looking for hacks on vb.org since reCaptcha has been cracked.

I just was getting ready to set this up on my forum until I noticed this part:
3. Go to the "vBulletin Options" - "Human Verification Manager" page and switch radio-button to Disabled. Click "Save" button.

Does this mean I can not use this in conjunction with the built in vbulletin checks?

I want to use this but not if it means turning off all other forms of verification, I do not trust ANY of them alone, I want to use multiple methods.

Hi, biggazillakilla,
we are analyzing statistics from 800+ websites using our KeyCAPTCHAs. If we see that any our particular captcha exhibits an abnormal low rate of correct solutions or increased time in its passing, we remove it from the pool of captchas.

We are constantly working to simplify them. So, already after this thread start we:

released jigsaw puzzle-type KeyCAPTCHAs
added thumbnail of an image sample to be restored


It would also help a lot if the English were correct.
Thanks, again, you for drawing our attention to this issue.

We missed it because we concentrated on the desi5257's number 1 rule of web design (https://vborg.vbsupport.ru/showpost.php?p=2138486&postcount=17)that captchas' tasks should have been clear without (reading) an explanation

Hi, Hornstar,
thanks for helping us.
We've changed the title of this post (increasing its anti-spam context) and plan to announce it in forums of VBulletin of other versions.

Meanwhile, please note that you can download and install KeyCAPTCHA plugin for VBulleting 4.x (as well as for 3.7-3.8.5 versions) directly from our site https://www.keycaptcha.com/?changelang=en . It is free but you should register to find instructions because they are specific per each of many different supported CMSs .

Thanks again for your help and interest,

Hi, Nazia,
no need to hire anybody. Our KeyCAPTURE is free with free support.
Recently, we released a new type, (jigsaw) puzzle, that, as we believe, is much simpler. Everybody played it in childhood

One may try it online on our www.keycaptcha.com site

It is supposed to be intuitive and passable without any instructions

Hi. Thank You For Sharing this Interesting Mod.

The Add-on doesn't work on Internet Explorer 6. :confused:

It don't Display the Image Verification.

Many Persons in the World Still Use Internet Explorer 6 and Windows XP, is Important that the Add-on Works on them.

It'd also be Nice the Support of other Languages like Spanish. :confused:

It'd also is Important to have the Option NOT to Replace the Image CAPTCHA System but to Work Appart from it. It'd be Nice to have the Option to have BOTH Systems Working on the Boards. :confused:

Many Persons in the World Still Use Internet Explorer 6 and Windows XP, is Important that the Add-on Works on them.

Internet Explorer and Opera, all versions, should have Shockwave Flash

KeyCAPTCHA requires "Shockwave Flash Object" plugin installed in all versions of Internet Explore and Opera.
In all other supported browsers and mobile devices KeyCAPTCHA uses HTML5

If Flash is disabled or not installed then a visitor will see on KeyCAPTCHA in a browser the text telling that it requires Adobe Flash 9.0.115 or higher to be installed.

We re-tested KeyCAPTCHA on IE6+Windows XP.

If this message is not shown then it is possible that a website visitor has, for example, Ad Blocker plugin for blocking Flash (http://winston-blog.blogspot.com/2006/05/blocking-flash-ads-in-internet_21.html).


It'd also be Nice the Support of other Languages like Spanish. :confused:


We plan to start supporting Spanish in our KeyCAPTCHAs in a month.
Upd: Spanish is currently supported

It'd also is Important to have the Option NOT to Replace the Image CAPTCHA System but to Work Appart from it. It'd be Nice to have the Option to have BOTH Systems Working on the Boards

At this moment we do not have plans of adding such option but we are contemplating on reconsidering our priorities.
Upd: We tested and could not reproduce this problem. Plz open support ticket to look into your issue specifically

Hornstar, wow,
We seemed to initially miss this your third already helpful to us hint to understand why there are so many requests for having more than one protection (in earlier posts by inciarco (https://vborg.vbsupport.ru/showpost.php?p=2147996&postcount=26) and by Kestryll (https://vborg.vbsupport.ru/showpost.php?p=2147996&postcount=21)

After some googling we found that many articles on internet advise to install second protection as the (only?) way to stop the spam surge due recent reCAPTCHA (used by vBulletin forums) cracking on 4th of January 2011.

We should stress that reCAPTCHA cracking was quite obvious and expectable, due to may reasons, suffices to say that Google Inc., owning the reCAPTCHA, does not use it by its own services, for ex., Gmail registration, etc. Some obvious weaknesses of reCAPTCHA were already explained on internet before (http://www.allspammedup.com/2010/01/google-recaptcha-cracked/).

Though, KeyCAPTCHA is conceptually different service having multiple levels of novel mechanisms of protection and it was never cracked yet.

KeyCAPTCHA anti-spam service is unique in that it is platform specifically developed to overcome many drawbacks of other (previous) anti-spam services. For example, in contrast to other captchas, KeyCAPTCHA allows to easily and fast change the type of employed captcha without the need to re-install its plugin in protected webservers of our old customers, in case it is broken.

Thank You Very Much For the Spanish Feature. :up:

I've Configured it on the KeyCaptcha Control Panel and Worked Ok on my Test Forum.

I Saw the Feature that Doesn't Change the Registration Form Page When the Person Fails the KeyCaptcha, and Offers a New Image Check, Looks Nice; Would be Important, If Possible to Include in the Mod, that in those Cases a Message Box Appears to Tell the User that the KeyCaptcha Image Check Failed and that a New Image Will be Displayed so that the Person Check the Image Again, (Like When You Don't Specify a Password). :confused:

-1. In the "class_humanverify_keycaptcha.php" File you Should Add the <fieldset class="fieldset"> and the </fieldset> in order for it to Display Ok (as the Other Options in the Registration Form). :confused:

$tmpl = '<fieldset class="fieldset"><legend>##task##</legend><table style="padding:0; spacing:0; border:none;"><tr style="padding:0; spacing:0; border:none;">'.
'<td><input type=hidden value="1" id="humanverify" name="humanverify" /><input type=hidden value="1" id="hash" name="hash" />##keycaptchacode##'.
'<noscript>Debes Activar JavaScript en Tu Navegador. Despues de Ello Recarga la Pagina.'.
'De Otra Manera No Podras Publicar Informacion en Este Sitio.</noscript></td></tr></table></fieldset>';


-2. I'd be Nice that the Mod Displays the Message Window/Box When the Puzzle Isn't Well Resolved, as when the Password Isn't Well Writen or Is Different in Both Text Boxes. ;)

-3. I Also Noticed that the Plugin Says "Please install Adobe Flash plugin (version 9.0.115 or above) into Your browser, please go to this link for install Adobe Flash plugin" in English When the User don't Have "Adobe Flash" Installed in the Computer; It'd be Nice to Display that Message in Spanish or in the Languages the KepCaptcha Users have Specified in their Account, (in my Case Spanish). :confused:

The Phrase would be something Like this in Spanish:

"Por Favor instale el Plugin Adobe Flash (version 9.0.115 o m?s reciente) en su navegador, por favor acceda a este enlace para instalar el plugin de Adobe Flash"

I'll Keep Testing On My Forums.

I hate to be the bearer of bad news, but spam on our forum and increased tenfold since installing KeyCAPTCHA. If anything, it seems less secure than the reCAPTCHA or the Q&A methods (both of which are far from perfect, but seem to reduce spam more than KeyCAPTCHA does). I've been deleting spam posts and banning spammers all day for a couple of days now - hundreds of them - since installing this.

I've been deleting spam posts and banning spammers all day for a couple of days now - hundreds of them - since installing this.

I DISAGREE With You, Morrus.

As the Matter of FACT, KeyCAPTCHA STOPS 100% of SPAM BOTS, because SPAM BOTS Can't Solve the PUZZLES.

Is 100% Impossible to STOP SPAMMERS (Persons) From Registering, (NO SYSTEM CAN Simply Because Humans Find Ways to Try and Joke Any Registration System), but You Can Implemment and Configure Other Systems to Reduce That From Happening:

1. KEYCAPTCHA (Stops 100% of SPAM BOTS), So USE IT.

2. Create and Set "User Profile Fields", and Force Users to Write Answers in Them, so that They Have to Write Coherent Answers, (SPAMMERS, TROLLS, and LEECHERS Will Provide Wrong Answers and those You'll BAN For doing that because those are SPAMMERS).

3. Use the "COPPA Registration System", so that No Person Can Write ANY Birth Date, and Also to NOT Accept Registrations Under 13 Years Old.

4. Set To YES the "Moderate New Members" Option on the "User Registration Options", so that You Can Review the Answers that Users Make to the "User Profile Fields" Before Accepting their Accounts. Give Yourself the Opportunity to BAN TROLLS and SPAMMERS that Write TRASH on those Fields, they for Sure Will Be SPAMMERS.

5. Set "Follow Forum Moderation Rules If no, posts are always placed into moderation queue" on "Post / Thread Permissions" as "NO", for Usergroups Not Approved ("Not Activated" and "Pending Approval"), so that Every message They Post is Moderated, and that Way NO SPAM from HUMAN SPAMMERS or TROLLS is Viewed (can be Posted but NO ONE WILL SEE IT), and that way if they Post SPAM You BAN THEM and Delete their TRASH Posts. NEVER Allow those Usergroups to Create New Threads.

6. Use Also an Additional System as "vMail - Verify Mail before registration (https://vborg.vbsupport.ru/showthread.php?t=201466)", so that No User Can Register Without Validating His/Her Contact E-mail Address.

7. Use Also another Additional System as "NoSpam! for vBulletin 3.7 (https://vborg.vbsupport.ru/showthread.php?t=183329)", so that Users Have to Answer a Validation Question (like a Mathematical Question or whatever related to Your Web Site), so that No User Can Register Without Knowing the Answer to that Question.

8. There are other thing More to Tell, but with the Previous Ones You'll STOP SPAMMERS, TROLLS, and LEECHERS, so much, that You'll Reduce their Registrations and Keep Them Under Control. Also Many Users Will be Annoyed by that, but You Have to Choose if You Want QUALITY Users Registering or Just QUANTITY (The Quantity don't Participate, they're Just LEECHERS).

I 100% Recommend KEYCAPTCHA, Because is a Beautiful AntiSPAM-BOT System, and Also Provides a PUZZLE System that Only Humans Can Solve.

Thank You Very Much KEYCAPTCHA. :up::up::up:

My Best Regards.

Hello, Morrus,
according to our verification:
1)
all registration on your site were created by humans,
no bot has passed, more correctly to say - was used to pass, KeyCAPTCHA for registrations
2)
Our stats shows that your site had 169 successful KeyCAPTCHA passing
(and I believe that "hundreds" starts somewhere after 200)
3)
Programmaticlly assisted spam could appear because you do not have verification by KeyCAPTCHA for already registered users.
So, it is sufficient for bot operator to register manually and continue spamming with a bot.
vBulletin has functionality requiring to pass captcha for users having less than 10 posts

Morrus
04-04-2011, 09:54 AM
Wahst's with all the aggressive CAPS and Random Capitalized Words?


3. Use the "COPPA Registration System", so that No Person Can Write ANY Birth Date, and Also to NOT Accept Registrations Under 13 Years Old.

That's not a solution. There are plenty of under-13 yr old members on my site. It's a family-friendly game site.

[quotre]4. Set To YES the "Moderate New Members" Option on the "User Registration Options", so that You Can Review the Answers that Users Make to the "User Profile Fields" Before Accepting their Accounts. Give Yourself the Opportunity to BAN TROLLS and SPAMMERS that Write TRASH on those Fields, they for Sure Will Be SPAMMERS.

NEVER Allow those Usergroups to Create New Threads.[/quote]

So your suggestion is to, instead of spending ages deleting spam posts, instead spend ages verifying member posts individually?

(and I believe that "hundreds" starts somewhere after 200)

Hundreds of spam posts. I deleted well over a thousand spam blog entries yesterday.

I feel sorry for having written about "hundreds" and that you are experiencing such a situation.
I am looking forward that you resolve it ASAP.

KeyCAPTCHA on registration ONLY cannot help against a manual registration by spam bot operator and continuation of spamming by bot.
You should have switched on the built-in in vBulletin captcha functionality for posting by users with less than 20 (I wrote previously 10) posts.

KeyCAPTCHA protects already 10,000+ websites and we monitor in real time bot activities.
We would have immediately reacted to it, have we noticed any breach by a bot.

Some of the websites protected by KeyCAPTCHA have hundred thousands visitors a day and are very attractive for spammers but we had no such incidents yet.

I Implemented Today the Human Verification On Usergroups "Not Activated", "Pending Approval", and Also "New Approved Members", Following Your Instructions and Recommendations, and You're Right a SPAM Operators Can Create Accounts, Pass the Registration and Anti-Spammer Checkings, and then Configure a SPAM Bot to Access the Accounts and Post Annoying SPAM Messages on the Forums.

Also can be Used the Mod "Throttle Posts/Threads (restrict number of posts/threads by usergroup/forum by time) (https://vborg.vbsupport.ru/showthread.php?t=131014)", to Control the Number of Posts in a Period of Time the Usergroups Can Post (Specially New Approved Members); if a Spammer Registers and Passes the Posting Human Verifications, at least won't be Able to Post more than "X" Messages in a Period of Time of "Y" Minutes.

I Like a Lot the KEYCAPTCHA Feature that, if the PUZZLE is Not Well Solved and the User tries to Press the "Post" or "Register" or "Send Message" Button, the KEYCAPTCHA System Won't Allow to Pass to the Next Page (to Send the Form), so the User Won't Have to Press the Back Button, and a New Puzzle Will be Displayed to be Solved and Only then Pass to the Next Page/Step.

Great Features and Very Effective. :up:

My Best Regards To All the KEYCAPTCHA Team, Thank You Very Much For Your Efforts To Help Us Control Spammers. :up::up::up:

1. You Have to Set "KeyCAPTCHA" on the "Options" > "Human Verification", and Save that Setting.

2. It replaces the Image Verification Code so if Image Verification Works on Your Web Site KEYCAPTCHA Should Work Too because it Replaces the Code of the Image Verification on all the Places were it Works.

3. Also on "Options" > "KeyCAPTCHA Settings", You Should Write the "Private key" and the "KeyCAPTCHA code", and Save those Settings. (On the KeyCaptcha Web Site You Should Set the Code to Work on "vBulletin" Board).

4. The KeyCAPTCHA Team are Really Nice and Polite People (Read all their Replies), so Ask Them Nicely For Help (and Create a Ticket on their Web Site), and They'll For Sure Assist You and Help You To Solve the Reason Why the Code isn't Displaying in Your Web Site. But Ask Them Nicely, KEYCAPTCHA is a Very Good Product and Offer a Great and Useful Service.

5. The KeyCAPTCHA Team Will Help You With The Rest, They're The Experts.

My Best Regards.

sorry, I'm really afraid to distort (misspell or mispronounce) your name, so I avoided it.

This is quite unexpected for us and we have to remind here that it is the same KeyCAPTCHA plugin as for vBulletin 4.x backward compatible with previous vBulletin versions (https://vborg.vbsupport.ru/showthread.php?t=257294&page=4) and where it has a little bit more Stars, Downloads and Installs marked by our users.

In order to avoid splitting the MOTM votes, please vote for that (the same) MOD there.

We've been getting hit hard by spammers the last couple of weeks - dozens of registrations with signature spams per day. I installed KeyCAPTCHA in the hopes that it'd help - well, it didn't in the slightest. We've had 4 spammer signups in a few hours since installing it. It seems to be the same spammer group as before installing KeyCAPTCHA. I simply can't believe that all this spam is manual.

Hello, Gladius2007,
"4 signups in a few hours" is not an indication of automated registrations. Hundreds and thousands would have been.
There are no bots without human operators (or human spammers). Those (without human participation or involvement) are called by viruses (but not bots).

KeyCAPTCHA uses geo-cluster of server in 24*7*365 DDOS-resilient centers in different countries and using multiple IP-ddresses. In rare cases of one of such dtacenter is down, our service is redirected to another server in another country. In this case there can be a few dozens seconds delay in KeyCAPTCHA service. Anyway, I cannot understand why you are getting registrations at all (even manual ones) when KeyCAPTCHA service is down. There is something wrong with configuration of your website or it could have been compromised even before KeyCAPTCHA install.

If you believe that there are issues with keycaptcha anti-spam protection (or configuration) on your site, please open support ticket from under logged into keycaptcha.com user.
We can neither identify nor resolve issues by reading forum posts (even less from ones without even indication of any concrete details)

Update:
We checked.
There were some problems on keycaptcha.com webiste due to a maintenance in a datacenter during 1 hour but antispam keycaptcha service worked stable without downtimes due to geo-cluster used.

Open a ticket indicating your (IP-address or website) and the period of time when the issue occured and we shall send you our screenshots of how our captchas were passed and other data to analyze your incident (being spammed).

Gladius2007
04-10-2011, 11:44 AM
The service itself worked while keycaptcha.com was down, I checked, so that wasn't the issue. My point was simply that installing KeyCAPTCHA didn't seem to make much difference as far as I could see, though granted I've been using it for less than a day now. Obviously I intend to leave it up for at least a couple of weeks to see how it performs.

It would be more than a little odd if we had manual signups BEFORE installing KeyCAPTCHA as well as after. Since before installing it, the spammers could easily have used Xrumer or various other spamming tools at their disposal without needing to do it manually.

Sorry, I'm not catching with what you are trying to say.
XRummer, and its updates, are expensive. It cannot be "easily" used if someone has not bought it for quite a good money.
There is no XRummer or any other good professional spam bot in open public domain or free of charge.

KeyCAPTCHA is not passable by bots

We have 10,000+ websites protected by KeyCAPTCHA and most of feedbacks telling that that had tried many tools before finding KeyCAPTCHA that stopped spam bots

If you are interested in concrete and constructive resolution of your issue,
open support ticket with concrete details of your case.
There is no point in generic philosophic debates and guessing game about your concrete case

Gladius2007
04-10-2011, 12:53 PM
What resolution? By your account, it's impossible for bots to pass KeyCAPTCHA ergo any spam that we get must be manual. End of story.

Well, great... while I'm sure that KeyCAPTCHA is helpful if any forum is actually targeted by large bot attacks, it doesn't seem to deter manual spammers.

Read in this Mod's Topic my Replies, and Follow the Recommended Settings and Additional Mods to Stop Spammers (Humans and Bots).

I Share a Reply I Made Regarding this Issue on vbulletin.com, on the Topic "Best Anti Spamm? Need this asap. Adult Spammers! (http://www.vbulletin.com/forum/showthread.php/376073-Best-Anti-Spamm-Need-this-asap.-Adult-Spammers!)", maybe it might Help in Your Case and other Cases to Stop Spammers:

Is important to consider also that Not Only Spam Bots register to Spam on a Community Board; there are also Human Spam Operators that Manually Create the Account (or Various Accounts) and then Configure a Spam Bot to Access them and Post the Spam.

Perhaps the Following Ideas Might Help some vBulletin Forum Admins to Control Spammers (Bots and Humans):

1. Is Important to Combine 2 Systems on the Registration Process (and for other Actions), like the Questions and Answers (Mentioned Before in this Post) like the Mod "NoSpam! for vBulletin (https://vborg.vbsupport.ru/showthread.php?t=183329)", (or other Similar), and also another System; I've tried since some Weeks the "KeyCaptcha (https://vborg.vbsupport.ru/showthread.php?t=257294)" System that Uses Puzzles and is 100% Effective to Stop Spam Bots because Spam Bots can't Solve a Puzzle, (move the Pieces and Place them in the Proper Places), and Also I Liked that the System don't Allow to Pass the Page Until the Puzzle is Well Solved, so the User don't have to Press the "Previous Page" Button on the Web Browser, (Important in many Pages and Forms).

Humans can Still Register and Spam, but the Next Points Can Help with that:

2. Is Important to Activate the Human Verification System (Questions and Answers and/or the KeyCaptcha and/or Other System of Human Verification Choosed), for "Not Activated", "Pending Approval", and Also "New Approved Members", so that No Spam Operator Registers and then Activate a Spam Bot to Spam the Forums, (perhaps the Human Spammer can Try to Spam but it'll be Difficult the Process and perhaps will be Persuated from doing it, too much Effort for his/her posts to be Deleted as soon as Detected by the Admin). I Like the KeyCaptcha Puzzles because theyre Fun to Solve, so perhaps Good Users won't mind Solving them to Post their Messages on the Forum's Topics, at least until they are Promoted to a Usergroup that don't have that Restriction (Next Point Explains that).

You Can Set a Promotion for Users that Post more than "20" Posts on the Topics, (or the Number You Like), so that the Promoted Usergroup don't have that Human Verification Restriction and from that Moment On they Can Post without Restrictions on the Forums.

3. If You don't Want Fake E-mail Accounts to Register you can Use a Mod like "vMail - Verify Mail before registration (https://vborg.vbsupport.ru/showthread.php?t=201466)" so that New Users Confirm their E-mails before being Able to Create an Account.

4. Consider Using the "COPPA Registration System", if you don't want Small Kids to Register and Write Wrong Things in Your Forums.

5. Always Moderate New Accounts, so that You Can Review Them Before Accepting Them. (Use the User Profile Fields explained in Nexr Point).

6. Create and Force New Users to be Obligated to Answer some Personal/Particular "User Profile Fields", so that You Can Analyze their Answers or what they Write in those Fields in the Registration Process; many Spammers Will Write Ininteligible or Absurd Answers, so You Can Ban Them if they Do, (a Troll, a Leecher, and a Spammer will try to Pass that Step Fast, a Good Forumer/Member will Answer Carefully and Correctly the Questions, as Happens in Real Life).

7. Set "Follow Forum Moderation Rules If no, posts are always placed into moderation queue" on "Post / Thread Permissions" as "NO", for Usergroups Not Approved ("Not Activated" and "Pending Approval"), so that Every message They Post is Moderated, and that way while you Check their Profiles you can Stop their Spam and don't Allow Anyone to See It, (as Admin You and Your Moderators Will be the Only Ones that Will See it, but Not the Users and Guests, so No Body Will be Annoyed by Spam and Wrong Contente, and that'll Disuade Spammers from Registering).

8. You Can Also Use the Mod "Throttle Posts/Threads (restrict number of posts/threads by usergroup/forum by time) (https://vborg.vbsupport.ru/showthread.php?t=131014)" to restrict Usergroups (Specially the New Approved Users) from Posting more that "X" Threads or "Y" Posts in a "Z" Period of Time that You Can Define. If You Allow New Approved Users to Create New Threads and for some Reason a Human Spammer Passes All the Registration Protocols, then You Can Restrict Him/Her from Posting more than those Threads and/or Posts on Your Forums, (something Like 1 Thread and 10 Posts in a 6 Hour Period of Time, of the Amounts You Prefer).

9. Do Not Authorize Signature on Usergroups Not Approved (like "Not Activated" and "Pending Approval"), and Perhaps also on New Approved Usergroups; many Spammers Like to Post their Spam Links on their Signatures; before I Implemmented the NoSpam (Questions and Answers) and the KeyCaptcha (Puzzle Human Verification), I noticed that Many Spam Bots that Registered Stopped at the Signature Editing Process, because by Chance I had that Disabled for those Usergroups and that is Part of their Steps to Spam the Forum Boards, so is Important Not to Allow Signatures for those Usergroups.

10. Of Course, the List of Ideas Shared by the vBulletin Team (Steve Machol and Wayne Luke) on the Topic "How to Reduce Spam and Registration Bots (http://www.vbulletin.com/forum/showthread.php/359107-How-to-Reduce-Spam-and-Registration-Bots)", and Other vBulletin Team Members on Other Topics, are Very Important to Control Spammers.

I Hope this Ideas Can Help vBulletin Forum Board Admins to Control Spammers, (they Also Help Control Trolls and Leechers because they Won't Like to Register on a Controlled and Moderated Board, and that is Noticed from the Registration Process). ;)

My Best Regards.

:)

04-10-2011, 01:51 PM
- I Can Add to the Previous Recommendations also that You Can Set a "Custom Login Page (https://vborg.vbsupport.ru/showthread.php?t=222607)" as Spam Bots and Human Spammers Usually Look and Should Configure the Login Process to the Default Fields Located on ALL the Pages of the vBulletin Board. (The Login Page can be Easily Renamed if needed to). Maybe that Can Help, but the Best Way is to Prevent Spammers From Registering and Also From Posting Unmoderated Posts, at least while the Admin can Check that is a Good and Useful Forumer and Not a Spammer/Troll/Leecher.

I Also Saw on "Talk Jesus | Christian Forums (http://www.talkjesus.com/)" that they Use a Drop Down Menu for Login, (I can't Precise how Effective that can be but I Think it Should be). If you check on their Site they are VERY Strict with the People that Registers, and they Use the "vmail" Mod (mentioned in my previous posts) Not to Allow Any Registration that Can't Confirm the Verification Code (Human Registrations Only).

According to the Methods that You Choose for Registration, Moderation, and Control of Your Boards, will be the Difference Between QUALITY and Quantity. I Liked a Lot what Chad, the TalkJesus Admin wrote on the Topic "Forum Etiquette (http://www.talkjesus.com/technical-support/12096-forum-etiquette.html)", and that Explains Very Well the Difference Between those 2 Kind of Persons (in Real Life and in this Virtual Life provided by Internet and Communities like vBulletin Forum Ones).

Can NoSpam! be used alongside KeyCAPTCHA?

I've Tried it on Registration and They Both Work Fine (Each One Doing What They're Designed To). I Haven't Tried Them Together on Other Places (I Only Use KEYCAPTCHA on those Places, such as Posting a New Message, Contact Form, and the Other Ones that the vBulletin Forum Has).

You'll Have to Try them and Post Your Experiences (The List of Things I Mentioned are Some of the Ones I Use). Of Course, as All Mod's Creators Recommend on their Mods, Always Backup Your Forum's Database Before Installing Any Mod, with a Software such as "MySQLDumper (http://www.mysqldumper.net/)", or the One You Use that Allows You to Restore a Backup Copy of the Database.

Also is Recommended to Have a Test Forum were You Can Install and Test Your Mods, and when You Confirm that Everything Works Ok then Backup the Main vBulletin Forum Board, and Install and Configure the New Mods in it.

My Best Regards.

Thanks for the info, I guess I'll add NoSpam! as well to see if it'll help.

That'll ONLY Stop Spam Bots, but if you don't Use some of the Other Tools and Configurations Mentioned by the KEYCAPTCHA Team, and the Ones Recommended by the vBulletin Team (in one of my Last Replies is a Link to their Topic), and the Ones You Consider Necessary on the Posts I've Shared, then Human Spammers Will Continue to Register Manually on Your Forum Board and Will Continue Spamming (they Manually Create the Accounts and then Configure the Spam Bots to Post the Spam).

I Forgot to Mentione another Important Mod, which is the "Multiple Account Detection & Prevention (https://vborg.vbsupport.ru/showthread.php?t=199077)", which can Help You Detect a Spammer that Try to Create Multiple Accounts From a Same Computer and/or from a Same IP, and Also Try to Login with those Accounts From a Same Computer and/or from a Same IP.

The Same as Before, Test the Mods in Your Test Forum and also Make Backups of Your Real Forum Database before Installing the Mods.

-1. In the "class_humanverify_keycaptcha.php" File you Should Add the <fieldset class="fieldset"> and the </fieldset> in order for it to Display Ok (as the Other Options in the Registration Form). :confused:

$tmpl = '<fieldset class="fieldset"><legend>##task##</legend><table style="padding:0; spacing:0; border:none;"><tr style="padding:0; spacing:0; border:none;">'.
'<td><input type=hidden value="1" id="humanverify" name="humanverify" /><input type=hidden value="1" id="hash" name="hash" />##keycaptchacode##'.
'<noscript>Debes Activar JavaScript en Tu Navegador. Despues de Ello Recarga la Pagina.'.
'De Otra Manera No Podras Publicar Informacion en Este Sitio.</noscript></td></tr></table></fieldset>';


-2. I'd be Nice that the Mod Displays the Message Window/Box When the Puzzle Isn't Well Resolved, as when the Password Isn't Well Writen or Is Different in Both Text Boxes. ;)

2)
install the new version of plug-in following instructions on keycaptcha.com site
You should have done it before
