Yikes,

Uhh, my best bet is to install a mod that will stop this, try this thread https://vborg.vbsupport.ru/showthread.php?t=244746

If not, try this, I used this with my vB3 forum, it works, and it does have a vB4 version of it as well, https://vborg.vbsupport.ru/showthread.php?t=248042

Best of luck with you! :)

I use a combination of ways to prevent signups from bots. I use the built-in recaptcha and then these...

That is always a problem, what has helped me is this mod:

This mod doesnt let them post links until they reach a number of posts. Usually the spam bots will try to post links on the first post. They cant then they leave.

Use Q and A if you do not already have it enabled:

- ACP - Settings - Options - Human verification Options
then
- ACP - Settings - Human Verification Manager

I'd not recommend reCaptcha as there are well known (by spammers) ways to get through it.
