I found a typo in 1.1, which caused that. Product tested and updated to 1.2

1.2 doesn't seem any better. I still have the same type of spam bots registering as I did with 1.1.

This product stops a lot of spambots from loading the registerpage, but it will not work against ALL spambots. Other spambots will have no referer page in their http request, but blocking anything with no referer can result in blocking legit users with unusual browser settings or proxies.

Have you checked out vbStopForumSpam?

You can use this in combination with Spambot Stopper - Prevent Spambots from Registering - vBulletin.org Forum or Spammers Suck! - vBulletin.org Forum.

vbStopForumSpam caused a lot of problems for me. It actually disabled a bunch of stock functionality on 3.8.7. I'll try again but I have my doubts.

Wow, I couldn't live without vbstopforumspam. I bet it blocks 1000 spambots a day on my 8 forums.

You might want to try this mod: https://vborg.vbsupport.ru/showthread.php?t=297834

It renames register.php which throws off 99% of the spambots attempting to register.
