Default Spammers keep registering
Hello guys - running 3.8.2 and have a problem recently. I never had a spammer issue before but now this thing keeps registering on my forum and PMing my users.

Their name is always lowercaseX like:

districtqM
James2
naturalY

and so on.

They also always register with the email:

n2eovtl3b@moreprobe.com
yfq7tmujm@moreprobe.com
etc...

so something @moreprobe.com

How can I stop this? I am going away for a week and can't have something PMing all my users over and over.

Thanks!

I banned the @moreprobe.com domain for now.. best way?

Ban his IP's as well, make sure no otehr users user the same ISP, as partial blocks of IP addresses will block users you want having access.

What signup human verification do you use, if its actually a person, it wont matter.

Where can I set human verification questions and such?

I have AdminCP -> VB Options -> Human Verifications but theres just a few check boxes in there

there are also a couple of excellent registration mods you could add to prevent multiple registrations.

https://vborg.vbsupport.ru/showthread.php?t=199077 i use this one works well.

just ban all @moreprobe.com's... that way no e-mail from that domain can register...

i blocked ".ru"s and my spam stopped instantly.
