I got the space. Thanks, looks better.

I think we can add the IP. That shouldn't be hard. But remind me, I'm off for the weekend and I'm really burnt out on code this week. See ya soon.

Is there any way to make this script show the IP address the potential bot came from. That would allow us to be able to reconginize a common subnet and ban that entire subnet.

Thanks!

I use the proxy checker to address this issue:

Spam bots almost always use a proxy IP so I use the script I linked to set to a later execution order to moderate users that registered from a known proxy IP. Every now and then I have to approve a user that must be real but I have not had a problem with bots registering for a while but I have a custom antispam setup that combines a number of scripts plus custom user fields that make my site just not worth the effort it would take to spam them.

Then, the one touch ban and cleanup takes me 1-second to remove the spammer that does try to get through. Life is getting better thanks to the great mods that have been shared here!

I am upgrading one of my sites to 3.7.x this weekend and I plan to install this on the new install as I like the move to the DB where it can not be faked.

Nope you didn't, and still haven't. I just had the same problem, lol.

Installed.

***Forth: Upload the contents of the upload folder.
I added it to the install, not the upgrade. Sorry. :o

I just re-uploaded it fixed the right way. Thanks!

I installed this and hope it works out...I am getting sick of these bots.

Thanks heaps..
Uploaded and working...:)

my vb version is 3.6.8 .... do you have this mod for 3.6.8 ?

As noted, it should run on 3.6.8 just fine.
