From your admincp go to User Banning Options

If you enable aggressive email banning you can ban email domains.

for example two off my list
@goodinternetmoney.com
@skinacneremedytreatmentproduct.com

as long as aggressive email banning is enabled no user will be able to register with those domains.

Is there a way to stop the harvesters that suck up bandwidth coming from proxies? like say torservers.net?

I've had some difficulty with this. I'm running version 4.1.0 once i follow the instructions to install the mod (including the template edit), my registration page is inaccessible. Basically tells me that the page is configured incorrectly.

Anyone else tried the mod on 4.1.0? Once I remove the mod, the registration page goes back to normal.

I have the Minimum Time for Registration Submission set at 65 seconds. How is it possible for someone to still be able to register in 7 seconds? Is there something I can do to cure this? (Currently using: vBulletin 4.1.0 Patch Level 2)

noppid,

Can you please update this for vB 4.1.2 +

Thanks man.....great mod btw!!

An excellent plugin! I've been using the older version with vB 3.x for quite some time now - I had just upgraded last night to vB 4.1.2 and had to shut down all of my 3.8 mods and plugins. This morning I had a crapload of new registrations in the moderators queue - 99% bots <sigh>.

Thank you for upgrading this hack for 4.1.2 - I installed it in minutes and within seconds it was stopping the "bots".

Nominated :D

By the way, I have a number of fields for new members to fill out. For instance "Tell us something interesting about yourself" "How did you find us?" "What are your favorite bands or films", plus more. This takes more than 30 seconds to fill out, so this catches these bots easily (most filling the form out in a couple of seconds - I have this plugin set at 30 seconds). Some do slip through since there are "slow" bots, but since I moderate all sign ups, these are deleted no prob.

how did you create the custom questions??

my site - OS.Care

I think I need to get a combination such as yourself. I am wondering whether it is a mod or an edited .php file(s)..

If you're using the new vbulletin mobile app with your site, this addon will prevent users from registering.

Disables the Registration process on 4.1.3

Would love an update that works with 4.1.3

Thanks for this, Couldn't figure out why I had 2,000 plus members and no posts. Bots.
