VB4.1.5 Patch Level 1 BOT SPAM FROM HELL
 
how do i keep them from registering, THey are getting past my Human Verifcation: Image Verification......

HALP! :eek:

I think there are bots that can solve the image verification, so switching to "question and answer" verification might help you. You only need a few simple questions.

Murtific 08-21-2011 12:48 PM
i'll try that. I'm also wondering how to ban by IP address.

nhawk 08-21-2011 12:52 PM
Because many people have dynamic IPs, use ban by IP sparingly. If you use it too much, you could end up banner legit members trying to register...

AdminCP->Settings->Options->User Banning Options

Switching to Question and Answer will help you no end mate!

Yep Question and answer definably helps. Also approving members manually and emailing the sus ones for more details helps if it gets to that?

i have a combination of 3 things.
Image, question and email.
till now no bots so far.
