I know this is a two-edged sword, but it there a way to indicate to a person who was been denied registration as to 'why' that just happened?

I ask, because after receiving an email yesterday stating...

--------------------------------
Your registration has been denied. This forum maintains a zero tolerance policy against Spammers. Please contact us (via the "Contact Us" Link below) if you believe this is in error.

have tried registering several times and always get the same message...not cool!
--------------------------------

...I realized a common name like 'sean' should not have been dis-allowed registration just because a spammer somewhere, at sometime has apparently used that common name before. :(

For now, I disabled the test user name function of this MOD, but wondered if there was anyway to inform the user as to what the problem was with completing the registration process? I don't think bots would realize the information was there, and it might allow legitimate users to try and re-register given the info.(i.e. Registration Denied due to username, etc)

Question,

I installed the manual submit via ACP, it worked for quite a while, now all I see is a white page in the ACP frame when clicking the submit button.

What would cause this all of the sudden?

We are experiencing the same problem.

suggestion:
can you add an option to email the daily logs to an email address we specify? I'd like to be able to monitor blocked registrants without having to log onto the forum to check the logs. this is not a huge deal but would be nice if included.

what to do if the spammer registers somehow and spams ? Is there a way to put up a verification method daily to stop the spammer/bot from posting on a day ?

i cant find this code the link is not working please update me
thanks

was having same issue, then updated it now i cant even see submit button or thingy to submit data of spammer.

I'm getting the same "Invalid File Specified" error on 3.8.2. Pretty simple site, so...

BTW, this is after disabling all of the few products that I have installed, except for vBa.

[s]My vBStopForumSpam LOGS are no longer being generated for some reason.[/s] When I look under the product, the Scheduled Task Manager has no entry. I'm guessing I've done something to delete it, but how do I add an entry back in to get the LOGS to generating again??

I've tried re-importing the product w/overwrite, but to no avail.

EDIT: Well, nevermind. Somehow it seems to be working perfectly again w/o any scheduled tasks, so I don't guess it needs one. Sorry to interrupt, now back to your regularly scheduled discussions. ;)

*Installed. Install went smoothly. Thank you very much. I have been getting hit by spammers hard and had put many things into place and have curbed it some. I am hoping that this will take it a litter further..
