question im still getting bots

once you import xml file what do ya do next there is no install instructions that i can see

Installed! I am really liking this mod. Blocked 5 bots today. They were getting pretty bad for a while there. This has slowed it down a bit for me. Thanks a lot.

I just installed this on AVSFORUM which is ver 3.6.8. I have not read anything on ver 3.6.8 here thus am I wondering....Will it work? :) I did a test register and the registration did work, but I am not fast enough to test it as me looking like a BOT. :)

So, thoughts on 3.6.8?

Yes, I have it installed and working on 3.6.8

:eek::eek: found it cool works now need to edit template :up::up:

Still working splendidly for me. But I have a question. I don't really need to see the "User Blocked" email. Is it possible to turn off email notifications? (Or is there some reason this might be unwise?)

I think it would be great if there were some way to choose how to get notified of these attempts -- perhaps in addition to email notification, another option might be writing to a log file.

Anyway it's just a minor annoyance, and if turning off notification isn't possible, I can always continue to delete the messages. More importantly, I really can't praise this mod enough. It's stopped hundreds of spambots from signing up on my forum. Thanks again, calorie!

Working awsome! Lets hope the bots don't figure out how to slow down...

Great idea, but if I'm the guy who makes spam bots, and I pick up on this, I tell my spam bots to take 120 seconds to register.....

120 seconds to register and leave the posts after that period?
Would not be practical...
1 000 forums * 120 seconds = 120 000 seconds
120 000 / 3 600 = 33.33 hours

Hit and run is very important for them.

Are you fast enough to register in ~149 seconds? :)

For the testing purpose make it ~150
