This seems to stop a lot of the bots that were getting through ... now I get dozens of emails like this every day >

The following username and email address were denied registration: AtFeel-SoGO - heidyfulbrdaz@gmail.com Form Processing Time in Seconds: 0

There still are a few that get through though, and despite the fact that I also have admin must authorize enabled some of these dang bots get through that as well and are shown as new members. I also installed a no sig mod so that helps too....

Tonight I decided to rename my register.php file to see if that would slow them down - it wasnt even 30 minutes and I was getting emails telling me an address was denied registration. WTF?

vbulletin needs to get onto of this - this is way out of control! I dont understand - the idiots keep getting denied, the ones that do get through cant add a url and they cant post. HOW can I keep them off my IP all together? And how to these scammers (I figure its only a few doing it in a major way) still have ISP access? They should be banned from the Internet for life for being so darn stupid!

Is there a new mod that will keep these bots out for good?
