Definitely working for me. Recommend increasing the limit to 20 seconds from the default 15 though - several obvious spambots being caught at 17, 18 seconds on 4 forums where I'm using it.

Thanks. I'll increase the default to 20 in future releases.

And thanks for the confirmation. I kind of rushed out the update because I wasn't sure what effect the bug might have had, but if it was working for you then the answer is that it wasn't having any effect.

bots always pick the first answer in required profile field. So one question is Are you a spammer?

yes
no

and they all pick up yes. That bans them automatically

suggestion. Why not add IP in database and also check IP when registering?

That's a good tip. Is there a mod that does the banning?

I'm not sure what you mean - can you elaborate on that?

No I just added it manually in global_bootstrap_init_start

PHP Code:


		
			
if( $vbulletin->userinfo['field10'] == '0') 
{ 
$vbulletin->db->query_write("UPDATE " . TABLE_PREFIX . "user SET usergroupid = '8' WHERE userid = '" . $vbulletin->userinfo['userid'] . "'"); 
}

I ask them which version of vb they are using? but that's specific to my site

0
1.0
2.0
3.0
4.0
5.0
and they all pick up 0
and for banned IP, once banned I insert IP in a custom table and at registration:
And I verify that IP at registration register_addmember_process

PHP Code:


		
			
$ip = $_SERVER['REMOTE_ADDR']; 
$dateline = time(); 
$bannedip = array(); 
$bans = $vbulletin->db->query_read("SELECT ip FROM " . TABLE_PREFIX . "bannedip"); 
WHILE($ban = $vbulletin->db->fetch_array($bans)) 
{ 
$bannedip[] = $ban['ip']; 
} 
unset($ban); 
$vbulletin->db->free_result($bans); 
if(in_array($ip, $bannedip)) 


{//then your mod kicks off

I stop 80 to 150 bots daily and sort of solve that plague

Thanks, that sounds great. If that's your code and you're giving me permission, maybe I'll include those as options in a later version.

Sure you can include a vboptions to include the trick profile field id.
Once banned I send user to gay.com

I have been using this for 6 months now and that finally gave me a break

Required custom profile fields is great as that increase the registration time

kh99	02-01-2013 05:59 PM

Thanks, I'll consider those for the next update.

And for those complaining about amount of emails they are getting, just create and outlook rule to send those mails to a specific folder, then delete the contents of that folder daily. You will be surprised how fast it gets filled up with banned notifications
