is it still posting threads? i'm using the vb3.8 version my thread creation is turned off and mine isn't creating them - post back please.

This seems to work well! I installed, activated, and the list of 'visitors' dropped quite around 2/3.

Keep up the good work. I think the people at vBulletin proper should get you on board and have this added as a default feature of vBulletin.

Help this guy keep the agent list up-to-date.

Why not wrap the whole thread creation code in a setting conditional? That way it would only run if the setting was enabled.

Boofo, after my recent update it now will not fire if there isn't a forumid present, if a username is left out it automatically enters the userid 1 (as most of us start our forums off with our username) and finally the create thread option which really should have been off by default (my bad!) is now set to off by default :)

Glad you like it :), i doubt the guys at IB have this on their radar!

Can you mark this mod as installed please?

I saw that, but wrapping the code would have prevented the problem in the first place instead of having to add exit, was my point.

I just wanted to bump this thread and point out that this is by far one of the best and most effective anti-spam, anti-scraper, anti-harvester, anti-banned member, anti-WHATEVER mods available. It might take a little bit of time to get it setup for your specific forum, and for who you want/don't want to access your site, but once you have it setup, it's BULLETPROOF and very effective. If you're hoping to install a magical mod that magically gets rid of all the unwanted visitors from ever going to your site, keep living in magical fairy land because any effective solution is going to require some trial and error and some configuration. This mod is no exception, but once it's setup, it's absolutely fantastic!

I rated it 5 stars!

Glad you like it, if you team it up with my Ban IP mod you'll get that better flexibility.
