No, it's not posted here.

I kind of threw the thread posting option in there just before releasing that version, and I expect to apply the time limits (or maybe a separate set of limits) to the thread posting in a later version. Sorry if that messes up your plans.

If you are getting rejection emails but no posts, I'm not sure why that would happen, and unfortunately the only thing I can think right now is for me to do more testing to see if I can figure it out. Double check the settings (if you haven't already) to make sure the threadid and userid are correct.

Yes - I have only been testing with successful regs - so that explains it.
Will be waiting on the new version with the logging, stats and hopefully successful regs in the thread too :)

Thanks again.

Thanks again.

It would be good if the thread posting used the time limits. If it seems like the other stuff is going to take a while, maybe I'll make another update with that change.

Well I did get this one Registration Rejected email while testing that didn't show up in thread. I missed a field filling it out

============================================
At 03:36 AM 26th February 2013 (default forum time) a registration attempt was rejected because:

- The registration time was greater than the minimum of 25 seconds (28)
- Error from vB: You have left a required field blank.
- Error from vB: The two email addresses that you entered do not match.
================================================== ========

Hmm...yeah, I don't remember offhand, but I think that might be because it wasn't rejected based on the time. But my intention was that you should be able to get those notices as well. I'll take a look at that.

ETA: now that I think about it a little, I guess there could be a question of whether or not that should generate a notice. Because in that case it's probably a user who made a mistake and will try again, so I'm not sure if people would want a notice about that.

Also I'm going to change those error messages a little. That first one isn't an error, it's just saying that the time check was OK, but the way it reads is confusing.

I do like how it shows so much info - didn't know I was so close to the minimum time.

Yes an option to enable all the extra reporting would be great!

This mod won't works for me.

The mod is turned on (time limit=30 sec), but spammers can get through. So I tried it on my own, filled out the registration form in ~10 sec. and the result was a successful registred new user :(

I am using vBulletin 4.2.0 Patch Level 3. I turned off all other plugins, which may influence your plugin. I also tried to change the action options if the registration form is filled out too quickly - but with no success.

Any ideas where is the problem?

/Edit:
I have never used any similiar plugins to prevent spam registrations...

Mea culpa :)

I just find the problem, and it is not your fault! I was using the wrong PHP Version (5.4). With this Version vB is not fully compatible, so I changed again to 5.3 - and everything is working now :)

Thanks for letting me know. I'm going to check to make sure that this mod is compatible with PHP5.4.

Don't worry, because vB 4.2 isn't also fully compatible with PHP 5.4 (especially the wysiwyg editor).

But I have a suggestion:
I am using the notification via a seperate thread. It's a little bit distracting, that a post is created for every blocked spam account. My system blocked only in 1 hour 191 Spam Users :D So I have 191 new postings, most of them don't using the real registration form. They only use a PHP Post Command for trying to register.

It would be nice, if it is possible that only every day/week/month a post is created with a detailed statistic of blocked users or like its done as shown in the screenshot

All times are GMT. The time now is 08:21 PM.
