vb.org Archive - View Single Post - Is this normal or weird about new forums?

jani · #1 11-01-2008, 09:27 AM

I have started my own forum called www.decentdiscussions.com

First my forum was using phpbb software but since I upgraded the software to VBulletin I am having a weird problem.

I am getting 20+ registrations daily and 90% of the registrations are coming from xxx@mail.ru or xxx@gawab.com

They all are like Cheapviagra, BillingViagra, CheapPills....etc that's why I have blocked the registrations from these 2 email IDs.

But still I am having huge registrations daily and the similarity in all registrations is that they all are entering Date or Birth but leaving the Gender field box.

The new registrations are ON for few seconds and they go offline as soon as they have completed the registration.

Can anyone please help me what is going on? How can I stop these kind of robots?

Also, They are robots right?

Looking forward to hear from you.

Thanks
