vBMC - vBulletin Motion Captcha
 

vBMC is a small HTML5 + jQuery fancy addon for anti-spam purpose without typing any text. Just draw the shapes ;) Now you can use it with vBulletin 4 forums. Original plugin is little tuned by me for more security.

Some screenshots (in polish language, but package contain only english language):

How to install?

1. Download and unpack package
2. Upload folder clientscript from upload directory to your root directory
3. Import product in AdminCP from xml dir
4. Enable product in vBulletin options

Thats all. :)

Good work i may install this on my forum when i have time :)

insanely interesting, will wait until some others comment on real world use

*update: ok I've installed on one of my boards getting a ton of spam lately. I have disabled human verification and am now only using this motion captcha. Was very easy to install and two tests worked great. Hopeful this will put a stop to robots unless they can work out a way to hijack the underlying script and bypass it (not sure how likely that is). I'll monitor my board for a couple days and report back.

update2* So far so good. Running on 2 different boards now, 5 new registrations without issue and no spam. Only thing I changed was the phrase "Draw Image" to be more detailed for less computer oriented users:

Please trace the image to the right with your mouse (*tip: take it slow, left click at the starting point and continue to hold your mouse button down while tracing the line)

update3* 12 registrations, no issues and no spam. I would have definitely had a couple spam posts by now. So far this is proving better than recaptcha.

this is really impressive.

although i am a bit concerned about accessibility issues.

Recaptcha is horrible. I had 500+ spammers pass recaptcha tests but were caught by Glowhost's spam tool. This mod looks promising :) I use Keycaptcha which is amazing but this might be something to try as well. Really glad developers are helping us keep our forums clean. :)

@up - please send me this file and check Apache logs. Any chunk of php code in this mod isnt able to execute any external code.

Just an update, this plugin is still running great on my boards. Have had over 40 registrations since installing with no reports of issues by those registering. It has effectively stopped all spam accounts on both of my boards saving me a lot of headaches..

Excelent !

Good Job. Thanks
