i am completely new to vbulletin and by the time i realized that it was much harder then my skills could handle i was already in over my head. so if anyone could advise me that would be great.

i turned on all the registration security functions on vbulletin but spammers keep invading my board. always posting about sex and viagra. i erase the post and ban the poster but someone else always comes in about an hour later.

does anyone have any suggestions of know if i did something wrong

thanks in advance

I have the same problem with the spammers .I have a forum about Banjos ,but every day I get spammers Posting about SEX, Drugs, and much more.. they have to join a banjo site to leave a post about some Crap that has nothing to do with banjos. WTF !! How can I keep theses jerks OUT...??

Thanks for any help.

Simply use any Question and Answer during registration. Do not use Image Verification as that has been cracked.

Also you can make it so only members above a post count can post links or send pm''s.

Ummm well you could download some mods from here vbulletin.org because I know there are some they check IPs and stuff like that which makes them really useful.

Question + Ansver = ftw..

Just remember to update/remove/cycle your questions sometimes..
