Hi there, I am running vbadvancedl v2.2.1 and I have a massive spammer problem.
I think I need to do 2 things, firstly I need to find a way of keeping the spammers out, and secondly I need to send all members a PM which they have to reply to to keep there account.
Can some one point me in the right direction please. My site is a free site and I don't make money from it, so if some one could help me rather then charge me it would be most appreciated.
Thanks for your time. T

Anti Spam: http://www.vbulletin.com/docs/html/o...pam_management and https://vborg.vbsupport.ru/showthread.php?t=230921 and http://www.vbulletin.com/docs/html/usergroup_promotions to promote non spammers after X posts.

Mass PM: https://vborg.vbsupport.ru/showthread.php?t=141622 (mixed reviews on whether it works on vB4 though)

There are probably other options around too.

Thanks for your direction on this, could you also tell me if it is a difecult
thing for me to up grade? and also will it cost me to do so?

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