Your best bet would be to tell us which settings in admincp>vBulletin settings>User registration options you have set ....etc then we can tell you what, in general, we have ours set to.

but this mod all it does is prevent number only registrations. none of the spammers I've had were number only spammers they had jibberish usernames

additionally, my problem is still as follows:

With VB4, if I set the option that new users require moderation, i would not even see them in the Latest Registered members list on my main forums page until I have actually went to the users moderation que and approved or deleted them

now with VB3, I set that option, but it only happened once that a user was moved to the moderation que, and I got 3 others users who were able to register successfully despite the fact that I have users must be moderated

Additionally, are the questions / answers that I put good enough or are they easy for spammers to bypass?
