I'm having a spam bot problem
 
Im having a bot spam problem they are signing up to my site and I need to stop them.
Is there a way to stop them. I looked all of this forum for something but the stuff I tried didnt work. and I also have to have to google spiders still be able to come to my site. I found out that these are spam bots from the webhosting company im going through
could you tell me if these are bots and it they are, could you tell me how to stop them from signing up to my site.

these are the usernames and emails of the spam bots.

What have you tried that did NOT work?

gdavis480 01-02-2008 08:53 PM

I've tried Enhanced Captcha Image Verification and NoSpam!

The Enhanced Captcha Image Verification shows a Red X instead of the images.

The NoSpam! the bots get the answers to the questions right.
My vb is 3.6.8 PL2

Two things I can think of is asking harder questions like "Spell 'superduperdingdong' backwards" (I doubt any bot would get that answer correct) and/or maybe just setting up your site to verify all new registrations. Have some mods or something take care of that duty if you like.

alright thanks, ill change the questions to harder questions to see it that stop.

to prevent bots from access to my forum i use a new users moderate tool=) i wrote 2 conditions for newcomers(in the rules template), 1 - if they want to be accepted fast they should write a pm to admin, otherwise i wait for a day, and register user if him come at least one more time to the forum... usually bots do not return to=) i have never seen even 1 bot at my forum since using this thing=)

I use NoSpam! and "Is Bot" they work for me

A good mod to remove Spam posts is "One-touch Ban & Spam Cleanup" ver 1.1 It lets you easily Ban a user, deletes all their threads, posts and PMs

alright I got those mods to work, just some mods I cant use because the webhost im going through doesnt want to enable GD support. I asked them to enable it and they excuse is if they enable it, it open a security issue or some crap and they can be hacked easier. thats what they tell me. which i know that is bs.

I would find a new host ASAP.

gdavis480 01-04-2008 02:40 AM

ya I would but I have to wait I think about 9 months to do that cause I didn't pay for the webhost a friend of mine did. only thing thats mine out of the whole site is vbulletin and the domain I paid for. Then i'll go back to hostgator. which is the best webhost company I used a year ago.
