Yeah, on our site (not vbulletin.org) we get 2 or 3 a day and I'm pretty sure they're human. Edit: ...and spam-o-matic doesn't stop them either.

That is true. Very few spammers get as far as SOM, on our forum, with this installed. But I still like having that extra layer of security :)

Can never be too many arrows in the quiver.

Since Sept 18th of 2013 up until January 2nd of 2014 on one forum alone I installed this on, it has prevented over 64,375 spam registrations! Thanks for the mod kh99 nothing but "a job well done" or "bravo" from me to you after seeing those statistics ;).

Thanks, but I think I should give credit where it's due. Max Taxable was telling people to use calorie's Is Bot mod for a long time, and to be honest I was skeptical. But Max paid someone to make a vb4 version with some options, which became very popular, and when that one was deleted by the author I coded this one so that it would still be available. There was also another previous mod by user noppid that works on the same principle.

Let's not forget I tried to pay YOU first, to code the new version.... But you told me you weren't doing any more Mods. Glad you changed your mind on that you're a good egg in my book.

lol, yeah, that was probably one of the many times that I was going to stop working on vbulletin.

Can thank you enough for this.

I was using the old bot_blocker which worked wonders but I needed to re-install it and couldn't find it anymore (the replacement by the same author is just not the same thing).

Your mod is the new bot_blocker :)

If you disable the button does it make it so the mod won't work? How can it catch a spammer if the button won't even work until after your limit has passed?

Bots can't read, they will click the button regardless of what we humans see.

I thought it disabled the button so that it couldn't be clicked. Installed, tested. Working.

How do I get it to move IP addresses to the Miserable users?
