Wow... this plugin has saved me so much time with bogus registrations. Thanks so much for this!

i still love this mod! :P

on Beta 4!

Exactly what I was hoping for however when I add this code it returns an SQL error:

Database error in vBulletin 3.6.4:

Invalid SQL:
UPDATE setting SET value = IF(value <> '', CONCAT(value, ' ', ) WHERE varname ='banip';

MySQL Error : You have an error in your SQL syntax; check the manual that corresponds to your MySQL server version for the right syntax to use near ') WHERE varname ='banip'' at line 1
Error Number : 1064

I'm not sure what IF(value <> '', does however I got errors from it.

I also had to change $isbot_ipaddy to $isbot_ip

I then had to change $isbot_ip to '$isbot_ip' , otherwise it would return an error splitting up the IP address.

So I ended up with this and it works fine... Thanks!

$db->query_write("UPDATE setting SET value = CONCAT(value, ' ', '$isbot_ip') WHERE varname ='banip'");

With the reCAPTCHA, is this still needed on beta 4? And what is your time setting at?

yes, i've reCAPTCHA enabled, and you just saw that this hack still blocks "something" ... damn i don't remember the time that i've settled ... maybe 5 or 3 seconds ...

With reCAPTCHA, I doubt they would have gotten through. I have Guests sitting at "Registering" constantly in the Who's Online but no one has registered that wasn't legit.

Bobby i don't know ... you can see what's happened on my site ...

other two blocked ... :D

The following user name with email address was blocked by the Is Bot mod: AnaebSpone - anaebspone@loanforums.biz (0 seconds transpired)

The following user name with email address was blocked by the Is Bot mod: sombdodablaby - inefarege@bk.ru (3 seconds transpired)

I think what is happening is this hack is catching them before they have a chance to go at reCAPTCHA. If you didn't have this installed, reCAPTCHA would stop them, if you have it enabled. It never hurts to have 2 lines of defense. ;)
