Well, that should not be happening:

the images are passed through a script which means that none of the images on the screen have file names - and cannot be associated to the question by title alone.
It's actually easier than that for bots.

Problem is actually that with default installation bots just revisit the site UP TO 4 times and they'll come in, just adding the ?parameter=correctanswer to the url...

Just increase the number of images and replace default images/names.



SO the more images you add, the less likely they'll pass thru. It just depends on how many retries the bot has been set to.

Nice hack.
Thank you.
Here are some more "intellectual" pictures that may be will help also real users to learn something when already registering to your forum :cool:

I think due to actual hacked reCAPTCHA problem this mode must get a MoD of The Moth status.

Do you mean it didn't hinder Bots to register into your forum?
I could say that after installing this, new Bot/XRumer registrations in our forum are 0 now. To be honest I increased the complexity to 6 images.

Or if you need to prevent Bots from posting when using already registered, e-mail verified users, then you need to use Spam Management of vbulletin with Akismet?

ten minutes late I had a couple new registrations --

However I've since changed the directory of the images, and updated the addon and the template for the updated directory name.

I also installed the addon that checks thje ip address against a blacklist of known spammers, and change the human verification to the most complicated captcha -- and the combination of that has stopped the spamming.

Does not work for 3.8.5

akanevsky 04-10-2011 03:33 PM

Why is this mod published in 3.8 section if it's for version 3.6?

Paul M 04-10-2011 03:58 PM

Because it works on 3.8 as well, and was moved in 2009. They have just never updated the version in the first post.
