vb.org Archive - Anti-Spam Options - [GlowHost] Spam-O-Matic

I know this mod is all about preventing spam from registering, but what about stopping them even getting to your forum? I have hundreds of registration attempts every hour and it's making my forum REALLY slow. How can we stop them even getting to the forum?

On the server level i would set up Fail2Ban. This will ban ips for a time limit you set when they attack certain ports. if the same ip keeps getting banned you can set it to ban them permanently.

I use zbblock atm. Do you require a VPS or Dedi server for Fail2Ban?

This plugin doesn't allow users to register.
Can anyone tell me what it is?

The details are filled up, then you're taken to the page: example.com/forum/register.php?do=addmember but it's blank and error 500 comes up.

When I disabled it, registration went back to normal.

What is the error from your server error logs? If you don't know where these are at, ask your host. :)

I'll have to ask what errors are appearing.
Do I need to say when it happened, or they'll just see the errors there?
All the registering user sees is a blank white page.

Where are the settings of the mod?
These..

I don't think I've changed much
