Is Bot: Registration Time Check · **Released**: 12-29-2006

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.

It can happen if the time is set too high. I've found the 15 second limit works flawlessly. 30 seconds, too long. There are some humans who can actually legitimately fill out the fields that fast. If there is one who can do it in under 15, better check to see if he wears a Superman costume under his clothes.

It was set at 15 when he got the error message.

I have done that intentionally pasting info in, not legitimate info, just junk. Nobody can type that fast.

Did you reduce the time?

Boofo · #**406** 01-09-2012, 06:44 PM

Nope, the time was set as 15 seconds. The reason I knew he got it was because he knew the exact message and I had never shared that with anyone before. But, knowing what I know about him explained a lot of it. He is the ONLY human who has ever gotten the message as far as I know, anyway.

Must be one helluva fast typist!

Most people registering have to read the stuff on the page to know what to do, take time to think of a nick, all that.

Oh shoot you misunderstood - I was asking if you reduced the time after that human got bot checked?

Boofo · #**408** 01-09-2012, 07:00 PM

No, I left is at 15 seconds as no one had ever gotten through it before him and no one has ever gotten through it since. But he did have to try it a few times to actually beat it, so I know he had to put some extra effort into it. I diod modify the mod a bit, though. It now does the register template edit automatically as well as has a few extra info bits added to it.

Chuck Norris will complete it in a blink of an eye

Allows the mail to go to foo@foo.com instead of the webmaster mail. We have the webmaster mail set up to go to a bit bucket, so that wasn't working for us.

That one doesn't seems to work for me. I have not recieved any mail since i change.
Any other way to change e-mail?

Boofo · #**411** 01-10-2012, 03:23 PM

Why not just do this and avoid all the hassle if you don't want to receive emails?

Code:

// vbmail("foo@foo.com", $isbot_subject, $isbot_message, true
