Hi,

Wouldnt have a clue how to achieve this idea but some clever bod out there must be able to do this!

All us forum owners suffer on a daily basis from spammers registering and causing extra work for our mods.

If we all work together as a group then this could stamp out spammers on vbulletin - what I propose is this, we need a mod that every time a spammer is caught by anyone who has vbulletin then the details of the spammer should be forwarded to a central database automatically. The database then logs the number of reports of a specific IP address or username / email etc, once a critical number is reached the central database should then be allowed to send a ping to the members who have the mod installed and automatically ban all users that have the same details or ban the IP address that is generating these spam users - if done correctly a mod like this could help all members stay ahead of the spammers and as soon as they start their auto registrations from a new server then within minutes all the members of the mod would be protected.

Its just an idea but hopefully the seed for someone who knows what to do.....
