I cannot believe the amount of spammers i get on a daily basis, as exposed by this product which works beautifully btw...

I wondered, in the 'denied' phrase would it be legal of me to redirect them to an annoying site? i suppose these spam-bots are just targeting the usual vbulletin files using a program and not actually a browser? thanks

Installed, thank you. We'll see how this does against the mass amount of spammers I've been dealing with lately.

I was getting a ridiculous amount of spammers registering (over 50 per day) and this mod put a stop to it. Unfortunately it's also preventing a lot of genuine registrations too, I often get emails from people who have tried to register but been denied on the basis of being a spammer.

I switched it off for a while but was getting bombarded with spammers again, so I've now got it running again but it's still catching genuine registrations in the big spam net. Anyone else having this issue? Just wondering if there's anything I can tweak to fix the problem?

It's only a minor complaint by the way, this mod is a Godsend as having to wade through hundreds of registrations every few days trying to separate the few genuine ones from the spam is something I can happily live without doing.

If it's their name that's getting them caught in the spam trap, you could tell it not to check name and see how that goes. You're going to get some spammers getting through.

It boils down to which problem is worse: The legitimates getting caught, or the spammers getting through.

I would urge those using this Mod to think about donating to http://www.stopforumspam.com/

This has saved me so so so many hours!

Installed it in conjunction with my mod, which hold off 99% of most spammers. After installing this, this mod showed me the many attempts spammers actually do on my forum, since my own mod didn't log anything. Feels a lot saver now though :)

Just installed after spambots hit a chronic new high on my forums. Seems to be working for v3.8.7 PL2 so far...

Is there a way to show how many spam registrations this mod has blocked? Maybe in the What's Going On box? I'd like to show how many spammers have been stopped lol

Thanx, I know about the logs, I'd like to show some sort of stats on my forum page as well like the vb4 version of Spam-o-matic ... if I can :)
