KillSpam -Automated Spam Killer

I have 1 custom profile field that shows at registration ... My Diesel:

Everytime one of them Robot spammers show up they always put a "1" in this field , We look at new members and if they have a "1" here we ban them immediately ,

So i want everyone who has a "1" in this profile filed to be banned and every new member who signs up like that to be banned as well

If you are sure that the "1" is always accurate, you should terminate the registration rather than banning them. Banning makes them a pita in your system that you have to deal with for no good reason. I dump them and make sure they can't come back by banning the IP address they used to try to get over ...

Ok then how do i terminate registration when 1 is used in a specific field ?

I guess the simplest way is to add a conditional to the top of register.php like:

PHP Code:

if (($_REQUEST['do'] == 'addmember') && ($_REQUEST['MyDiesel'] == '1'))
{
// send a notice and scuttle the registration

mail("spambuster@youdomain.com"," ***** Spammer - BadBoy = 1 - Data Logging & Rejection ***** ", " From IP address : " . $IP . " on the file:  " . $_SERVER["SCRIPT_NAME"]);
                    exit("<div align=center><br><h1> Go AWAY!<br><br> <span style=color:red>SPAMMER</span><br><br>You are<span style=color:red> NOT WELCOME</span>  on this site. <br><br>Your IP Address <span style=color:red> {$_SERVER['REMOTE_ADDR']}</span><br>Has been forwarded to site security. <br> It has been Banned from accessing this site.<br><br>If, by chance, you are not a bad guy, please contact support.<br> Say Goodbye!</div>");
    
        } 


You would need to customize this to fit but this code does work.

can you release this as a mod ?
