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.

Wow, Within 5 minutes of installing this mod I got this email:

The following user name with email address was blocked by the Is Bot mod: Mellisa - margo77@web.de (8 seconds transpired)

I love this thing!!!!


I get 10-20 new sign ups a day, I wonder how many of them are bots.... I guess I will start to find out.

Looking for some help. Installed this mod but nothing is happening. No emails and spammers are still getting through. I just ran an email test using the vbulletin diagnostics (set to email admin) and got the email fine. What am I doing wrong here?

Thank You soooooo much for this mod. It works fantastic. As like everyone else posting it stops like 5-10 a day on my site.

Thanks again as I really appreciate it. I was starting to get really annoyed with the number of spammers signing up constantly.

Cheers,

Steve

No, these are new ones landing in the moderation queue. I have all new registrations going to that queue. Apparently this mod doesn't work if new registrations go into the moderation queue.

Likewise here. Been troubled recently by lots of bot registrations, and this mod is catching them all.

Thank you!

I think 1 out of 10 spambots slip by this plugin but that it not a bad thing. It's hard to beat them all and this plugin is as close as it gets. I run several sites and all together this plugin has stopped over 500 spambot registrations the last few months.

Best vB plugin available.
