Stop Spammers?
 
Right now I have VB4.0 Gold and have my registration set to manual approval, any ideas about how to allow auto approval but stop the spammers from signing up?

Mike.

I suggest installing pedigree's vBStopForumSpam mod.

Depending on your site, you might want to disable the username check however as that seems to get some false positives.

I have been using it on vB 3.x and now on 4.0.x and find it to be a great tool.

Thanks man, was looking at it but wasn't sure if it is any good, does this stop spammers or just flag them?

will install it and try it now...

It stops them from registering. It's configurable.

Thanks, have it installed and have opened my forum again to auto approve... any other things I should know?
