My forum suddenly stop new member registration by VBStopForumSpam. Registration resume when I temporarily turned off the Plugin. If I turn on, there are lots of spam posting on the forum.

It affects all registrations. I have tried turning on and off several times to test the registration and therefore confirmed this is the case.

What can I do? Why it happen suddenly?

Forum version: vBulletin 4.1.9 Admin Control Panel

Appreciate your advise.

I am having the same problem. No one can register. But when I turn off Glowhost, they can register now.

I had TONS OF MALWARE on my site.. it was all over my Forum, and Google displayed that my site was "not safe". Freaks me out that you guys posted here that VBStopForumSpam is the culprit.

Anything being done about this guys?
- Super Concerned. :(

how can i report a spammer directly from the product instead of manually having to go and enter their details in.

The coder has not been on since last year so i suspect this mod will be getting uninstalled on many forums.
Sucks really as its a damn good mod.

Does it still work?

yes works great

A lot of genuine users are getting rejected lately so I am considering disabling this plugin, even though it has served the forum well for a few years.

Our forum is a local one so ideally I'd like to block the usual suspect countries.

Excellent. Anyone know if it is possible to have vB automate the log pruning? I've had this mod running for a few years now and just checked the log today to find over 100K entries.

So.... the upshot of recent posts on this plugin suggest that it can no longer be relied on as a stable plugin.

Which begs the question... what are vBulltin customers supposed to do to keep out the 'bad guys' ???

Works fine for me. Haven't had an issue for years.
