Since i started my new methods which include. (all from vb.org although GOLD is from BOP5)( the .htaccess thing is not part of vb or vb.org)
Stopforumspam
Recent Registration IP Check by BOP5 (GOLD)
Duplicate IP Report GOLD by BOP5
LancerForHire, LLC. - Bot Blocker
Fassim Anti Spam
Also a .htaccess auto ban method that ties in with the lancer mod.
Auto remove any account 10 days or older that has not posted.
Every new member is forced to one forum only where they are required to say gday.
We decided based on that if they get accepted. (no spammers have tried posting only a few regs)
Thats all i run for protection.
I implemented this on 2012-12-27
Not the same stats as the others above but still impressive IMHO.
3504 registrations that failed because of stopforumspam conditions.
120 permenently IP banned from the LancerForHire, LLC. - Bot Blocker method. (can be undone manually)
No idea how many Fassim Anti Spam blocked. Must be crap loads though.
I ban several countries..... Why... Dont ask you wont like my answer!!!!

Total real members is about 20 in that time lmfao!!! But my forum is crap so thats expected totally and quite normal. No problems from anyone trying to register or be accepted.

For me at the moment. Bots and spammers completely beaten.
Short term i know. But the way its setup now. 0 absolutely 0 of the buggers.

I feel guilty giving my mods nothing to do......
