Installed. Sounds good. Thanks!

is this ok on 3.7.3 ? the last week has been a nightmare with contiuous bots registrations etc

I'm running it on 3.7.3 and 3.6.11 PL1.

seems ok on 3.7.3

nice one noppid

Installed and running on 3.6.8. Already stopped 4 attempts. Seems to be working ok.

Great news. But darn, that just make us a bigger target I bet. :p

Installed. Looks good.

With the recent attack on tons of site I am going to give this a try on 5 sites.

just installed and we already had one get through. it has prevented a bunch though.

this spam attack seems like it's never going end.

Just wondering what should happen if bot programmers inserts a delay before submit the registration form. This mod appears to be very easy to cheat.

I am curious. Sorry if my post makes no sense, I am not a programmer so my reasoning is from a human being :D

The bot still has to deal with the hidden fields and if you make sure that you change the codes fairly often they will not get past.Changing the codes immediately you install is vital.

The ones getting through are not bots,they are humans with a crib sheet and instructions to copy paste info in to certain boxes.You can make life hard for them as many do not speak other languages,set some extra required profile fields in your registration and they are mostly stuck.

I use this mod and "no spam" and added extra fields, anyone not speaking english would have to guess the correct entry to make.

I see dozens of failed registrations on Paul M's "guest tracking" mod and have only seen one manual registration for a spammer in the last month.

Also set your registration to email verification( or even admin approval) ,checking usernames and email addresses against Google gives a good indication of someone spaming and I delete their registration before they get a chance to do anything.

We'll cross that bridge when we come to it if that is possible. ;)

Carey Crew's advice answers your question well I believe. Thanks Carey!

We went ahead and set new users to go into moderation in case they get through. That one I referred to earlier is the only one that has made it through, so I know this mod is a huge help :)

Thanks noppid. Have just installed this, and am looking forward to being spam free soon! :)

It's helped up through this. But ya still gotta clean your in box from notifications. :p

Good luck.

I installed this yesterday and for the first time in a week we didn't have any overnight registrations. So far so good.

Thanks for this!!!!

That's great news. We're getting hammered with bots too.

To be certain they don't get in, I've been changing my settings for hidden fields daily. That's not too hard. But I want to automate that too.

Helpful. Thanks.

Quite helpful.

Is there a way to stop the emails everytime a bot is stopped?

I have to say that this mod has definitely slowed down the bots, but a few are still getting through on a clients' site. Something like 5 to every 20.


HA! I had to set a message rule to delete the emails from the server, there were just to many to deal with. :o

ALL in all I think this is a great mod :)

Guten Abend Kann Mir Jemand Helfen Dieses Add Zu Installieren Bitte?

I'll add a setting to disable emails.

I'm about ready to publish an update I've been testing too. The test was done with no image verification, recapture or q&a enabled for human verification. We didn't even change the hidden field names daily. We got the emails to prove it's working.

Ich kann nicht lesen oder kann Deutsch sprechen. Helfen Sie mit einem Problem oder brauchen Sie jemand, dies f?r Sie zu installieren?

Updated thanks, but after i include the day, month and year then click submit it just shows me a blank page, can you help?
I am using 3.7.3

Updated according to the instructions for > UPGRADE from 1.0.3 to 1.2.0 <

registration now not working and this error is shown >>

had to disable product.

OK, I'll check it immediately!

We posted 1.2.1 to fix the issue. It slipped by, I didn't have coppa enabled.

We added an enable/disable setting too.

:o:o You might want to change your install and upgrade instructions to include the fact that there is a file to upload to ... /includes :rolleyes::rolleyes:

Appears to function now,will check again for any errors.

Will do. I didn't realize I left that out. Thanks!

I installed the latest version and it is working great on vB 3.7.3. Thanks again for this much needed mod.

Upgraded, installed and seems to be working fine, thanks

Great stuff. Just upgraded to the latest version. This has been a lifesaver. In the past few weeks it has trapped dozens of bots from registering. Works great!

Thanks, glad to hear that this has helped everyone that has given it a try.

When I realized that I had no human verification turned on on one of my forums that has this installed and the bots were still being stopped, I was pleased too.

When I register I got this msg "You have left a required field blank."
Help me please

Did you do the template edits correctly? Got a link?

yes I did correctly

Something went wrong apparently and without details and links, well, all we're gonna do is run up the post count of this thread, not fix your problem.
