I installed 4.0 withouth this mod and have no Bot-Registrations any more... Previously perhaps 10-30 bots/day blocked though this mod...

I made the change suggested in the post copied below, in register_addmember_process, under IS Bot in the Plug in Manager. The change stopped me from getting the emails, which was great. But it also resulted in visitors getting the error below, when they tried to register.

I'm also trying to stop the flow of so many emails. Any word from anyone on how to actually stop these things. I get about 50 per day!!!!

Read the thread. It's already been posted several times. You just comment out a line or two in a plugin. But, like I said, it's been asked and answer a few times already.

I did read the thread which is why I quoted a post responding to the commenting out procedure and how it gave that user an error. I'm looking to confirm if there is an error free way of stopping the emails.

You didn't quote what they did at all, so no one is able to correct the code. Yes, there is an error free way to do it as I don't get my 50+ emails a day at all.

Clicking the little arrow next to the quote allows you to see what the user I quoted was responding to on page 21:

Try this .. this is what I have done

go to your Plug In Manager

find under IS Bot under register_form_complete

remove the following line

vbmail($vbulletin->options['webmasteremail'], $isbot_subject, $isbot_message, true);

That I believe sends the emails

Which is a failed method it seems. Can you please let me know how to properly remove the emails?

I'm attempting to install this tonight, but was doing the research this morning.

I'm going to follow the install instructions and then do the following modifications that I researched by simply reading the thread posts...

Include IP address in Emails: Post #89 or Post #240

Auto-Ban: Post #141

Stop Emails: Post #50

If I get too many emails, I'll do the stop email mod to it.

That's the line I commented out and it works fine for me.

I've just installed IsBot and StopForumSpam in my 3.8.2 forums. After carefully studying what they do, I realized they essentially automate the same successful bot-blocking strategies I've been using manually for over 2 or 3 years. Wish I'd found them l-o-n-g ago. Duhhh!

Between them I have every expectation they'll eliminate 99.5% of all spambot registrations and cut the risk of spam-posts to a minimal level. I suspect I'll be able to stop moderating new registrations almost completely. We'll see. But that's my guess.

Thanks! :D

Comment: Although the Addon seemed to work fine, I uninstalled it because the StopTheRegistrationBots Add-on does the same thing this does plus much more. I also plan on installing the Advanced Registration AddOn as well to help keep out the bots and get new user registrations out of moderation mode.

Does this mod work with vB4? If not then can the author please update this mod. It is really useful for everyone.
