For you to come on here and blast a great App that many people use without problems is pretty immature of you. Tapatalk has done nothing about this because there is nothing "to do".

What you should of done is asked if people where having problems with Tapatalk in regards to spammers and registration issues like you are on your site. There is an easy fix on your side which I just posted and I believe you owe these guys an apology for coming on here and saying that they are blackmailing people to turn this off ...

Spam will happen on any site if you don't stay on top of it, there are many ways people can combat spamming and it is ultimately each forum's owner and or staff to do their job to prevent it and or completely eliminate it.

Like I said, I have almost zero problems/issues with spam on our forums, they are one of the most active in the gaming genre and none of the spam is coming through this App. In fact, I have had zero spammer accounts come in through the Tapatalk app since installing it. ....

The fix they provided (and others), doesn't work....

.. and, why would it be necessary to start patching code that simply needs to have a switch added (like Forum Runner and other products have ...), to simply require vBulletin registrants to use the vBulletin proper registration system?

Anyway, your situation is unique and not indicative of what a lot of vBulletin sites have experienced with this security flaw...

To Tapatalk's credit, they have indicated they're going to address the issue in a future version, but that statement has been going on for about 6 months now.

ps: no apology owed... I made the same comments in their support forum and if there's an apology owed, it should come from Tapatalk permitting this back-door to registrations to be left open with so minimal requirements in order to be able to post to any vBulletin site offering support for their add-on product.

Doesn't it seem odd to anyone that they offer that switch, but only if you PAY a monthly fee to use their product?
