Just checked the code and it should give you the UA in the mail, here's the code that does it

PHP Code:


		
			
$message = "DATE: " .$DateOfRequest ."\n\nUserAgent: " .$_SERVER['HTTP_USER_AGENT'] . " \n\nhas visited \n\n" . $vbulletin->options['homeurl']
. $_SERVER['REQUEST_URI'] . "\n\nFound In Your List As " . $bots2[$iz] . "\n\nRegards, \n\nBan Spider Mod";

see the bit that says

PHP Code:


		
			
\n\nUserAgent: " .$_SERVER['HTTP_USER_AGENT'] . "

that should show the useragent!?

Yes, I'm dumb. *slaps forehead* I apologize for wasting your time, this isn't the Mod I am looking to get this feature on. I thought this was the thread for the "Is Bot" mod, which doesn't capture the UA.

That mod is not supported and the developer hasn't been online for over a year. Any chance we can add this feature to that one, working via PM?

Hi Simon,

I would much appreciate it having a look on my recent thread regarding an evil obscene banned member keep registering himself in dozens of evil names every day to cause as much damage as possible to the forum:

https://vborg.vbsupport.ru/showthread.php?t=289646

I have his user agent strings but afraid to block other innocent members if putting the full strings in Ban Spiders by User Agent product! Would much appreciate your advise.

Mozilla/5.0 (Windows NT 6.0; rv:16.0) Gecko/20100101 Firefox/16.0

and

Mozilla/5.0 (compatible; MSIE 9.0; Windows NT 6.0; Trident/5.0)

Many thanks,

There's nothing in those strings you can block without affecting 100s of millions of people.

ٍBelieve it or not! ... I put the full 2 strings in ban spiders by user agent and in spite of that he had registered again by another evil username!!! ... Surprisingly when I tried to check his user agent for his newly registered account while he is still online I found it obscene words rather than:

Mozilla/5.0 (Windows NT 6.0; rv:16.0) Gecko/20100101 Firefox/16.0

!!!!!!!!

He replaced his user agent string by obscene words!

So, he is watching you jump through his hoops here, and knows how to spoof his user agent string. (Which, isn't all that hard to do.)

You are giving him just what he wants, attention.

I have no doubt he is Psycho! ... He spends at least 18 hours watching the forum, just waiting for the moment registration to new members opens again to bombard the forum with dozens of evil usernames! ... Would appreciate it communicating via PM if you have any suggestions

Many thanks
