I have been running this exclusively as my registration port for my site for a number of weeks.

Having been around awhile I have battled spammers continuously.

So far, only one spammer, and two failed registrations due to the email not being recieved and bounced. All three were human, and the one that got thru cruised around my site as a logged in member until he found a place where he had permission to post links.

One.

I can live with those kind of numbers.

My site is a target for foreign spammers because it's fairly well known in the niche. The number of hacking and spam attempts each day would probably shock you.

smirkley 10-05-2013 04:27 PM
I dont think it would shock me. I know what you mean.

I should add that I have a fairly extensive blocked IP list in my htaccess which encumpasses a few certain countries where almost all of my spam attempts come from. That alone has significantly reduced all attempts on my site to near a few dozen a day. I dont miss that traffic nor the countries natural traffic as my site does not target nor support those countries.

Would be ultra beneficial if the registration also was on every page, not just the forum home. Ideally, shown to guests on every page when not logged in so that they will be induced to register. I guess you might be able to copy the form onto the showthread templates and use a conditional if statement.

Yes, I have relocated just below the navbar, and it now shows up on every page with a header.

Better global than just one page imo.

That's a good idea. Can you explain how you did that?

slinky 10-09-2013 04:06 PM
smirkley - great idea. What did you do to accomplish this? Did you move the hook for the plugin?

I knew I remembered seeing somewhere on how to do this. It tells you how in the AdminCP Options for RFR. Enable RFR Anywhere, then add the listed code at the bottom of the navbar template.

slinky 10-09-2013 04:46 PM
Totally forgot about that. Many thanks.

I'm probably going to hack in the captcha or the human interface captcha which I think might be just a matter of plugging in the code from the registration page.

BOP, having all the stylevars lined up puts the entire vBulletin team that created vb4 to shape. They were easy to find and modify, unlike the hours of wasted time tracking down VB4 stylevars.

This has been possible for a while, it is in the instructions, you just need to do a manual template edit to the template(s) you want it in.

This is all assuming that you have email confirmation enabled. ;) In some cases you don't want to take the user back to their mailbox to confirm and then get back to the forum. It defeats a great part of the express registration, IMHO.

The back link to the forum is definitely needed on my site. Having the user go up to the menu to click befuddles some of the older generation. :) The redirect gets them there and they don't need to view the user name and password which will be emailed to them.

Spam is a problem on numerous big boards. I've got friends who are experiencing a solid number of spammers defeating the captcha. I find that if I change the questions, it minimizes the spam since these spammers must have an smart remember entry to their forum spam. So the captcha can work, it just has to be there and implemented along with SFS. :)

I still think this is a phenomenal mod and deserving of MOM, which I noted this month. ;)
Not sure we're talking about the same thing. This mod (RFR) ignored whether Email Confirmation is turned on or not. In RFR after a user submits the form they have to read the info that comes up. In most cases it tells them they need to check their email for their password then come back and log in.

If you are someone who tells them their password immediately then they still need time to copy it down and log in.

In either case they need time to read the message. A link back to forum home is fine, but an automatic redirection would not leave most people enough time to realize what is going on since most people won't be used to this mod.
