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.

Confirmed also here (sorry, forgot to mention): Simpli fill out the form with a wrong security check, submit again with correct security check (which normally uses less than 15s) -> You get the Phrase noregister (ID: 103207) "Registratin not possible at the moment."

That's also why I would change this to something like

Quote:

Sorry, you filled out the form so fast, I can't believe, you're human. If I'm wrong: <a href= "javascript:history.back()">return to the form</a>, reload it with F5 and wait at last 15 seconds before submitting it again. Thanks!

Oder in Deutsch:

Quote:

<p>Ups... Aufgrund der schnellen Formularausf?llung ging mein Add-on davon aus, dass Du kein Mensch bist.</p>
<p>Falls doch: <a href= "javascript:history.back()">Zum Formular zur?ckkehren</a> und dieses mit F5 erneut laden. Vom Laden bis zum Abschicken der Registrierung mindestens 15 Sekunden warten.</p>

Greetings, Bruno

Are your able to register yourself "as Bot" I mean, to get the error message?

Is there any way to show off the blocked stats? Like how to implement a counter that will count the number of blocked bots and we can display it on the WHOS ONLINE box.

Anyone? Great mod!

I don't have a blocked counter, but I just use the #of emails that I receive notifying of blocks. I just set up some email rules that automatically puts the emails into a separate folder and marks them as read. I never have to deal with the emails or sort through them.

To find out how many have been blocked, I just go to the folder and check the message count.

amjadz4 · #**317** 10-27-2009, 04:59 AM

Yeah I know that. But i want display blocked stats on forum home. how is that done?

bmckinley · #**318** 10-27-2009, 11:29 AM

I don't know how to do that. Maybe one of the coders will see this thread and help out.

Maybe the saving logs to txt will be better idea ?

Does this work on vb4?

Anybody checked this on VB4 I cant instal vb4 unless it works with this mod. It blocks 80+ bots a day.

It is not a VB3 engine, just a parsed copy!
