I installed the product however the questions are not showing up on the registration page. It is saying however, that I answered the No Spam questions wrong when I fill out the page and hit submit.

Any suggestions?

I have no spam hack installed on 3.5.4 without using the default question.

a few hours ago I have several spam bots registered and spammed my forum. One of robots called " ZahyipaZ", the other called "ShellyFew"

How can it be possible to spam?

Installed on 3.5.3 with no problems.

Misunderstood the yes/no to enable. Took me a couple of days for the statement to sink in.

Maybe instead of...

If you would like to disable the NoSpam! system, please select No here.

which is a double negative to me, you could simplify it with...

NoSpam Enable/Disable

And have the checkboxes state Enable/Disable.

Great mod! Went from 10-15 a day down to zero.

Thanks!

That probably would clear up some confusion. Though, it should be pointed out that that sentence ("If you would like to disable the NoSpam! system, please select No here.") is merely the description. The yes/no is in response to the heading which asks: "Enable NoSpam!?"



So far this seems to be working for me. I'm having trouble with the CAPTCHA images showing up, but that seems to be a problem on my end and nothing to do with this mod. Thanks for developing this. While I'm sure there will be forums out there that will be plagued with spammers trying to desperately circumvent their systems, a more mid-size forum like mine will benefit greatly from this. In fact, with the amount of automated spam we get, this should put a stop to it altogether.

I just installed NoSpam on vBulletin 3.5.4 - no errors on the install, I'm seeing the question prompt and answer box on the registration page, but bots still seem to be able to register with no problem .... I even tested the registration process a few times manually and invalid/empty answers for the questions deny registration, so NoSpam *appears* to be working, just not preventing the bots from registering.

Any ideas on what might be the problem or what I am missing?

Appreciate any help!

You might be running into a case of human users registering and then turning the account over to a bot. There's not a lot you can do about that, except maybe banning the IP addresses.

Just installed everything smoothly with no issues on 3.5.4, and now waiting to see if any bots get through. I still have manual approval enabled until I can gauge how effective it will be in my case.

Many thanks to antialiasis for putting this together, and keeping my fingers crossed.

WM :D

I need to install this in the Send to Friend form. Anyone knows how to do it?

BTW, this is one of the greatest mods I've seen so far.

Aunt Clara 08-15-2007 02:02 PM

Anyone? Please?

Thanks for this hack. Since installing my spam is now non-existant
