Thanks.

I have a couple decent sized forums and block about 50/each per day. That means 50 emails. I don't want to DISABLE the emails but would LOVE to just get ONE email every day recapping all the attempts that were blocked.

Anyone know how to get this done?

TheComputerGuy 08-27-2008 07:26 PM
PHP Code:
vbmail($vbulletin->options['webmasteremail'], $isbot_subject, $isbot_message, true); 
Remove that line...see what happens

This one made me laugh, I was seriously not expecting to see this:

2) In the vB register template find:

<input type="hidden" name="url" value="$url" />

And afterwards add the following:

<input type="hidden" name="isbot_time1" value="$isbot_time1" />
I just can't find where VB register template is, could you please help me located where this is???

eyeoftiger 10-02-2008 05:20 PM
Any help?

Hello? ? ? ? ? ?

TheDoug 10-02-2008 05:31 PM
Admin CP -> Style & Templates -> Style Manager. In drop down, choose Edit Templates. Scroll down to find "Registration Templates »", and double click on it to expand. Double click on "register". Find referenced line and add mod code after.

ps. This is not "support on demand". Give it more than 15 minutes.

eyeoftiger 10-02-2008 05:41 PM
thanks a lot THEDoug !

15? His second post was only 4 minutes after the first!

Seriously, people will help when they can. Sometimes that is the same day, sometimes a couple days later. You need to learn to be patient.

GHoSti 10-04-2008 11:49 AM
Great mod! I've just installed it yesterday ~6 pm. Within 12 hours I got 60 mails and ~6 hours later again 30 mails about failed registration. I've left the code at 15 seconds, but now I've turned off the mails ;) In all this time I'm using it now only 2 bots came through.
Thx so much! It really makes my life and the life of the other admins on my forum much easier!:up:

Gossennator 10-05-2008 08:53 PM
Okay gotta a question...i added this mod under products and now I cant find the option to turn it on...sorry..I am not too great this. Help would be appreciated.
Thanks

offline 10-05-2008 09:45 PM
Here's an idea... Why not grey out the submit button and have it display a timer so that the user cant hit submit till the 15 seconds are up therefore they will never be caught. Whereas the bot will just be programed to push the submit code and never know of the timer. Just a thought.

If you've added the product via the Add/Import Product interface, and modified the "register" template as instructed, then the product is "on" and working. You can disable it without uninstalling it, or you can remove it altogether through the same Manage Products in the Admin CP.

FWIW, I installed this hack on two different vB installs, and it blocked several (and apparently all) spam bot registrations. But, on one, as a test, I enabled reCAPTCHA, and disabled Is Bot, and haven't had a spam bot successfully register since.

Gossennator 10-08-2008 10:29 PM
Gotta question..sorry if its been answered already.

How do you turn off the email alerts?

Gossennator 10-09-2008 09:24 PM
bump for this^

jazde86 10-11-2008 10:45 AM
Disable the plugin - the option to do this isn't there. :(

Gossennator 10-11-2008 02:47 PM
can I just change my email address on it?

abdobasha2004 10-11-2008 06:55 PM
why prevent bots form registering?

Cleveregg 10-14-2008 09:30 AM
Hi

I have installed this mod and think it is great - I am however receiving lots of admin emails telling me that a 'user has been blocked' - is there any way of disabling this..

Thanks in advance

Bill :)

Go to "Search this Mod" in the upper right corner, enter "email" and you'll get a list of posts including this one - https://vborg.vbsupport.ru/showpost....3&postcount=50

Bots are getting tougher and tougher. Remember: Every bot is programmed by a guy who wants to show, how smart he is. This way you will lead him to the solution...

It makes nothing, if one of 1000 real persons has a register problem and needs to contact the admin.

Great mod, blocked 400 for me so far though I've got the odd one here and there slipping through.

offline 11-07-2008 01:19 PM
I also love this mod, it has blocked hundreds of bots so far.

Fenix_Wylde 11-12-2008 01:20 PM
just installed it. i hope it works well :)

|Jordan| 12-22-2008 02:06 AM
This mod is great but i've been having some troublesome problems with it.

Bots are blocked from registering, but they keep trying to register non-stop (for several hours/days) and after awhile of this, my forum increases the server load (my previous web host already warned me about this).

It would be great if there was an option to automatically ban the user/bot after "x" amount of tries.

Clayton 12-22-2008 07:19 AM
well if you want to be thorough every time you get a warning that a bot attempted to register then take the email they attempted to register with

go to Banning options and put the email address there

other than that good luck

The problem with that method is it requires user intervention. Something automatic would be easier to use.

paulvev 12-23-2008 07:24 PM
I have exactly the same problem. The increased traffic is creating pressure on the server and limiting the connections to the db. How do i stop unregistered bots "viewing"?

Because they are useless spammers.

Great mod installed.

tlwwolfseye 12-31-2008 10:22 AM
Doesn´t Anti-bot Questions and reCaptcha does enough to prevent Bots from registering ?

Grimmwor 12-31-2008 02:20 PM
Thank you for making this!!! You've saved my forums!

Toopac 01-01-2009 11:03 PM
Update:

This mod has stopped roughly 2500 attempts in just a couple of days.

CoreyT 01-03-2009 12:27 AM
I ran this mod on our older version of VB.
We just upgraded to 3.7 the other day, and it quit working.

If I reinstall this, will it work OK with 3.7?

I would also like to see this solution. Adding their IP addresses to the ban list, or to .htaccess (better), would be ideal.

My forums were recently hammered with tens of thousands of requests such as:

Code:
121.230.23.25 - - [07/Jan/2009:08:16:20 -0500] "POST /forums/ajax.php?do=imagereg&imagehash=null HTTP/1.1" 200 145 "http://www.pipcop.com/forums/register.php?do=signup" "Mozilla/4.0 (compatible; MSIE 6.0; Windows NT 5.1; SV1; .NET CLR 2.0.50727)"
121.230.23.25 - - [07/Jan/2009:08:16:21 -0500] "POST /forums/ajax.php?do=imagereg&imagehash=null HTTP/1.1" 200 145 "http://www.pipcop.com/forums/register.php?do=signup" "Mozilla/4.0 (compatible; MSIE 6.0; Windows NT 5.1; SV1; .NET CLR 2.0.50727)"
121.230.23.25 - - [07/Jan/2009:08:16:21 -0500] "POST /forums/ajax.php?do=imagereg&imagehash=null HTTP/1.1" 200 145 "http://www.pipcop.com/forums/register.php?do=signup" "Mozilla/4.0 (compatible; MSIE 6.0; Windows NT 5.1; SV1; .NET CLR 2.0.50727)"
It seems like it would be trivial to block anyone who hits the ajax page more than 10 times in a minute... right? :D
