This is how spammers like to exploit vBulletin sites:
They register for sites without filling out the profile
The admin gets an email and the profile looks okay
The spammer then edits their profile to add link spam, knowing that the admin won't get another email about it
Is there a way to get vb to email me on every profile edit? If not, I think it should be added to the core as a critical feature. I can't keep up with the spam. I have 1485 registrations that I haven't been able to manually check yet for spam, and it keeps growing.
Also, is there a way to automatically block user profiles by text that appears in profile fields?
Also, enabling the Facebook Connect makes the required profile fields become not-required, allowing spammers to slip through without answering profile questions. (bug)
Thanks
