Need help adding anti spam to registration page
 

I'm using asirra, a picture database instead of captcha on the registration page. I've got it working but have 2 problems: the proceed button requires 2 clicks instead of 1 and it can be bypassed by disabling javascript.

http://research.microsoft.com/en-us/...tallation.aspx Here's a little more about it. It has installation instructions but I'm not sure how to fix these 2 problems and install step 4 so that you can't bypass it.

Here's what I have so far, for step 2 I have this:

<form action="register.php?do=checkdate" method="post" onsubmit="return (MySubmitForm() && checkform(this));">

But it requires you to click the button twice, any way to fix it so it works with only 1 click?

I can't figure out step 4, any help?

Did you take a look at their source code for php? this is how they do it http://www.asirra.com/examples/Examp...ce-PHP.php.txt you can see how they've got the ticket id from their url using .$ticket

Why?

Use this to stop the bots without humans even knowing it's there:

I'm a php newb, not sure how to adapt that php example. I have it on the COPAA page and the same button does the asirra and coppa check.

I'll probably install it but I have tons of bots who don't sign up rapid fire as well.

Then use this too https://vborg.vbsupport.ru/showthread.php?t=264932

Thank you for the suggestions but I just want to adapt the php example to a regular vbulletin 3.8 copaa page during registration and prevent them from even getting to the other spam stoppers.

I don't know php so I don't know how to make it work.

You have special, slow bots? Never seen any of those. Kind of defeats the purpose of using bots.

The link i provided actually stops the bots before the registration or any other page :)

I installed it but it didn't work. Still getting slow and rapid fire (every 3 seconds) signup attempts. stopforumspam catches these but I don't even want them getting to that page because it makes my logs unreadable.

Can someone please just spoonfeed me how to adapt it to the copaa page? I'm not a programmer and not interested in being one, just want to make it work.

Did you check the usear agents of your bots/spammers?? did you then enter those in the mod? - if you did this mod works 100%!

I don't know how, all I can see is their email and IP, email and Ip changes every few hours. I marked it as installed but I want something that just works, not something I have to constantly maintain.

I also don't understand how useragent blocking will block changing ip addresses. can someone please just answer my original question?

No one here is the developer of that Mod you're trying to use. Have you tried asking THAT developer? This is a site for mods designed FOR vBulletin.

The two vBulletin tools which were developed FOR vBulletin and released here, which we already linked you to, are very handy anti-spam tools. They require no maintenance, they just simply, work.

User Agents: Simon has a very good and informative article on those, and you find them by analyzing the online.php page where you see the IP addresses of all guests online, at the bottom of that page are options for viewing the User Agent string of the spammers. The UA string is independent of the IP addresses, it identifies the device used to access your site.

In Simon's signature is a link to a good, comprehensive list of spammer and other bad actor UA strings you can copy and paste into his Mod. You'll be amazed at what all it stops.

If you insist on using the mod you mention in the OP, you might have better luck posting your request in the paid services section of vb dot org. Some coder might take you up on the job.

If you want help with my mod(s) then pm me an i'll set them up for you.
