Hello, I turned on moderation for new registrations but I do not know how 50 percent of the bots still manage to register and are listed as new members. This is particularly tedious since I have to delete each new user one after the other unlike if they had been cued for moderation.
Please help. I have 3 forums and they are all driving me nuts.

just type "bots" into search, 3.7 mods, title only.

this hack is great

after installing you should be able to turn moderation off.
once i installed this on my site they stopped completely.

but still you can install a few helpful addons/hacks, just type what i said above

edit: you mite find these links helpful to.

are you using captcha?

you might consider the one-touch spam ban and clean mod, also. very handy for the human spammers that make it by captcha

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