vBulletin should not be running on a shared webhost server. It is a resource hog! :)

You need a Dedicated server to run vBulletin without problems.

I am running a dedicated server... So anyway, that feature would be good for everyone.

Hi ... :)

I searched through 82 posts using "email" criteria and still can't find any information on how to turn OFF the sending of the emails.

Does anyone have a simple solution to have this mod stop sending emails?

It's a great mod, but the emails are killing us ... :D

Any help would be appreciated....

Regards,
Badger

Try this .. this is what I have done

go to your Plug In Manager

find under IS Bot under register_form_complete

remove the following line

vbmail($vbulletin->options['webmasteremail'], $isbot_subject, $isbot_message, true);

That I believe sends the emails

Thanks Clayton..... :)

I remarked it out like this, so I'll see what happens now.

Code:
$isbot_message .= "\n\r\n\rAttempt was made from: ". IPADDRESS ."";

        // vbmail($vbulletin->options['webmasteremail'], $isbot_subject, $isbot_message, true);

        eval(standard_error(fetch_error('noregister')));

Badger

Not true. VB customer support says you can run on hosted, its just that some shared web host companies don't allow it on their server. It mainly depends how active your forum is before problems start cropping up (any site that's very active needs its own dedicated server).

I have mine on a shared web host and have had for 4 years nearly with no problems *touch wood*

great hack aswell, wish there was a way of testing it lol

K2_02 02-05-2009 11:29 AM
I just wanted to write real quick and say THANK YOU for this mod! My forum has been getting hammered by Spammers from China for the past week. I installed this mod last night on VB 3.7.1 and in the past 8 hours I've blocked 22 spam accounts.

THANK YOU AGAIN!!! +1 Highly recommend this mod. Install it BEFORE you get attacked.

I did test it. Just fill out the registration form REAL fast with bogus info. Name=111, Email=222, Password=333. I filled it out in 13 seconds and got a "Sorry the administrator has temporarily disabled new registrations" notice. :up:

munnakv 02-20-2009 11:18 AM
Installed. What a cool idea. I never know about this mod so far. Thanks.

Pirat3 02-21-2009 03:52 PM
does this work on 3.8.1?

brandonroy 02-28-2009 02:30 AM
I want to thank the person for writing this mod. It has blocked 100 bot registrations on my forum since I installed it 2 weeks ago. :)
I just wish the bots would get the hint. They never stop trying to register no matter how many times they're blocked. There's one in particular that gets blocked at least 5 times a day, every day!

Yes.

furnival 03-09-2009 09:57 PM
This mod absolutely rules. The single best thing you can do to prevent spam. Should be built in to VBulletin.

jmurrayhead 03-10-2009 11:37 AM
I just installed yesterday and it blocked 7 spambots from registering :up:

Suggestion:
Create an option to allow us to specify a forum that this mod can create a thread in, save the initial thread id and then post replies to for each registration.

johnrizz 04-21-2009 07:35 PM
cool. i give it a try..... thnks!

rmxs 04-22-2009 11:33 AM
Seems to work at 3.8.2

john h 04-24-2009 06:02 AM
Yep, working on 3.8.2

Peter_AUS 05-10-2009 11:27 PM
Definitely works in 3.8.2, within moments of installing it, notified of registration of less than one second duration.

skyyjet 07-11-2009 07:18 AM
Its seems like a nice mod..can you please make it available for vb 3.5 too? or is there any such other mod for vb 3.5 available?

Thanks a lot !!

BRotondi 07-31-2009 08:04 PM
seems also to work in 3.8.3

aldamon 08-05-2009 07:22 PM
Thank you for this mod. I think this mod along with Human Verification and a couple of other hacks I have installed (Moderate New Registrations Based On IP Geographical Origin and Forbid Users from Posting Links or Images if They Have Fewer than 15 Posts) will eliminate the SPAM activity for good.

Thanks for that, I commented out that line and hopefully it will stop sending me emails.

On my forum I found that line in register_addmember_process, under IS Bot in the Plug in Manager.

bmckinley 08-20-2009 11:39 AM
Great help, thanks.

Fergal C 08-20-2009 11:53 AM
Caution, Advised!

I made the change suggested in the post copied below, in register_addmember_process, under IS Bot in the Plug in Manager. The change stopped me from getting the emails, which was great. But it also resulted in visitors getting the error below, when they tried to register.

Hi,

Thanks,
John B.

Yes, I have it installed and working on 3.8.4.

BRotondi 08-23-2009 06:44 AM
Well, I installed it on 3.8.3, updated to 3.8.4... and just had my first bot going through... is it really working?

Well, I said to give it a try in my 3.7.0 that we are now (we will update next week) but...
nothing happend :(

I changed the time to 20 seconds just to see. If it won't work I will give also a try in 3.8.4

I hope that there will work beacause we have about 20 spam registrations per day. :mad::mad:

infnity8x3 09-13-2009 03:06 AM
Confirmed working on 3.8.4! Thanks to the author.

-=[INSTALLED]=-

BRotondi 09-13-2009 03:53 AM
Confirmed also here (sorry, forgot to mention): Simpli fill out the form with a wrong security check, submit again with correct security check (which normally uses less than 15s) -> You get the Phrase noregister (ID: 103207) "Registratin not possible at the moment."

That's also why I would change this to something like
Quote:
Sorry, you filled out the form so fast, I can't believe, you're human. If I'm wrong: <a href= "javascript:history.back()">return to the form</a>, reload it with F5 and wait at last 15 seconds before submitting it again. Thanks!
Oder in Deutsch:
Quote:
<p>Ups... Aufgrund der schnellen Formularausf?llung ging mein Add-on davon aus, dass Du kein Mensch bist.</p>
<p>Falls doch: <a href= "javascript:history.back()">Zum Formular zur?ckkehren</a> und dieses mit F5 erneut laden. Vom Laden bis zum Abschicken der Registrierung mindestens 15 Sekunden warten.</p>
Greetings, Bruno

enemy@fps 09-14-2009 10:11 AM
they dont stop to register....

it must be a bot because if i would activate them they post in one second

BRotondi 09-14-2009 12:40 PM
Are your able to register yourself "as Bot" I mean, to get the error message?

amjadz4 10-25-2009 02:22 PM
Is there any way to show off the blocked stats? Like how to implement a counter that will count the number of blocked bots and we can display it on the WHOS ONLINE box.

Anyone? Great mod!

bmckinley 10-26-2009 08:55 PM
I don't have a blocked counter, but I just use the #of emails that I receive notifying of blocks. I just set up some email rules that automatically puts the emails into a separate folder and marks them as read. I never have to deal with the emails or sort through them.

To find out how many have been blocked, I just go to the folder and check the message count.

amjadz4 10-27-2009 04:59 AM
Yeah I know that. But i want display blocked stats on forum home. how is that done?

bmckinley 10-27-2009 11:29 AM
I don't know how to do that. Maybe one of the coders will see this thread and help out.

DJLy5y 11-14-2009 07:58 PM
Best mod ever !!!!! Kills bots like a super hero !!! Thank You :D

Maybe the saving logs to txt will be better idea ?

Like ibot.txt
[Time] [Email] [IP]
??

Alfa1 12-23-2009 10:20 PM
Does this work on vb4?

Nickbe 01-03-2010 09:11 AM
Anybody checked this on VB4 I cant instal vb4 unless it works with this mod. It blocks 80+ bots a day.
