This mod calculates the time it takes to go between these two pages:
  • /forum/register.php?do=register
  • /forum/register.php?do=addmember
The point is to try and prevent bots from registering at your forum when the time between the two pages is humanly impossible, assuming that humans actually take the time to complete the registration page.

Should a user be blocked from registering at your forum, an email will be sent to your vB webmasteremail address and the user will see the vB noregister phrase message, so no screenshot is necessary.

All a spammer has to do to beat this is look for a form field, send it and use a false time stamp. It may work for a while, but it's too easy to beat.

Ya need to grab something from the registering user when they click the forum rules to register and store it in the DB for comparison later privately on form submit.

Recently an online spam script was posted on vb.org. It processed a mass of vb forums and paused after every step. So even though this hack is a very helpful addition, it wont stop all spam.

That is where reCAPTCHA comes in handy.

Gotta have more than one line of defense, right?

Since installing this mod yesterday, I have hundreds of spam bots banging on my door(WOL), but they cant seem to get in. So a big thumbs up. I googled the bot IP's and most of them lead me to www.stopforumspam.com which is really handy.
This hack may also be very helpful as an extra level of security:

Yes, it does, although it has stopped working on my site for some reason. I haven't gotten an email for this hack for over 2 months and I know the bots are still trying.
