Folks..... be very careful with this product... :down:
For weeks I've been trying to figure out how all these spammers and weird posters were getting through to our site...
Tapatalk let's people simply register and circumvent the entire vBulletin web site registration process. They just need a name, email address and password.. no other information required at all ...
Even after threads of complaints, Tapatalk have done nothing to fix this glaring security issue, except offer the vBulletin site owner a PAID version which has the ability to turn OFF registrations when using the paid version of Tapatalk, which is not available in the FREE version.
Quite simply, you have to pay "blackmail" money to change to their BYO version, in order to get a simple switch to stop hackers and spammers from registering directly using Tapatalk, circumventing all of the safety measures that have to be gone through when they do this through our web site. :erm:
In response to complaints, Tapatalk support is now claiming they use a spam detection method, which is nonsense as it hasn't done anything to stop spammers from accessing a lot of vBulletin sites offering support for their product.
We've sent out a posting to all our Tapatalk users to start searching for an alternative app ...
Regards,
Doug
