Getting bombed by spammers.
I have glowhost spam-o-matic, and it used to work good, but now I am getting hammered daily by spammers!!! Any suggestions?
--------------- Added [DATE]1348583848[/DATE] at [TIME]1348583848[/TIME] --------------- I think I figured it out. Somehow the option of what to do when a spammer is detected got changed to allow them to register, not block registration. |

glowhost is okay but it doesn't really stop all of them.. it only stops the one in their database, which all of them aren't listed in their database..
The spam protection I have on my forum makes it so I get NO kind of bot spammer what so ever. It checks to see if anyone is trying to submit the registration form (which normally takes over 45 seconds to fill out, sometimes a minute if you read all of the descriptions) too fast. A bot can fill out the form in a range from 1 second to 10 seconds naturally. I set it so if someone submits before 15 seconds, it denies the registration.. The add on can be found here, it's called Stop The Registration Bots. https://vborg.vbsupport.ru/showthread.php?t=183917 (YES, it works fine with 3.8.x ) |

Are you using the Q&A ? That stopped all bots for me, and I made the questions a little more complex, explaining to the new member that they would need to use Google for 10 seconds to solve the question. I still have 40 new members daily but only 2 or 3 human spammers weekly.
