Gonna be awhile, it needs much more beta testing, as well as a few things added to it.

Well over 5,200 attempts blocked so far, on four sites now. This is the only spam protection running on these sites. No spam registration successes. NO legitimate humans blocked or in any way interfered with.

Still taking volunteers for Beta testing.

Some features this has:

• Logging - excellent easy to read and navigate, logging for this in ACP. Includes IP, username tried, email used, user agent string, and what checks failed. Also includes date/timestamp, and also time elapsed while registering. Leaves no doubt at all, it's spammers stopped not legitimate people.

• Reporting - Optional to have each incident posted in a designated thread, by a designated account. Includes all data shown above.

• "Test mode" - Lets you test this Plugin for assurance of function.

• "Show stats to groups" - Lets you decide who sees the statistics for this plugin, in WoL.

We anticipate vBorg release in 2-3 weeks. Still working out some additional features and functions. Would love to have some more Beta testers. If you become a tester, you get to find out first hand what the hell we're actually doing with this and be on the cutting edge of something really special.

Will test if you want

Ok PM sent.

I don't really get bots because I use Cloudflare, but I would like to take a look at the code of the plugin.

Do you run any anti-spam plugins and/or native vBulletin anti-spam stuff?

Just Cloudflare and reCAPTCHA, no anti-spam plugin from vBulletin.org.

Native vB human verification of any type? Is the reCaptcha native?

We ask the testers to turn off ALL anti-spam stuff for testing, in case you would like to try it. My experience with CF tells me you'll be surprised how many bots get through and try to register.

It's the one built into vBulletin, yes.
I probably don't get any bots because I have "Under attack mode" in Cloudflare turned on at all times, something that's mandatory for a gaming community due to DDoS attacks. This mode requires JavaScript which probably stops pretty much all non-human visitors.

I don't mind to give it a shot though by disabling reCAPTCHA.
