Anti-Spam Options - Verify Email Before Registration

Tested and working in vb 4.2.3

Product Description:

Verify Mail before registration , and during update profile information (changing mail for members from usercp)

This Product:

Stop spam at the first order, it works to prevent the registration with anonymous mails, in order to ensure Forum mail arrives (Newsletters - Subscriptions - Contact members .. etc.), to emails properly and effectively.

no member will be registered , or admitted to the database (both in group waiting activation or any other group), unless the mail is true. As if there was not a failed attempt to register.

What are the anonymous mails?


Are the emails that can not access by its owner, and browsed. Whether it was a mail already exists (used by another person), or not.

As long as no member can or the new Registrar (who wrote this mail), access to the inbox in the mail will be an anonymous mail, and reject his request.


Installation:

Just Import The product from AdminCP.

The product Will begin work as soon as the product installed.

You can manage the product settings from AdminCP > Settings > Options > Verify Mail before registration.

Enjoy

Big thanks to ForceHSS for his help with ironing out the spelling issues


To update, just import via Products in admincp, tick overwrite

PLEASE UPDATE

Last version had SQL issue, this is fixed now in this version

IMPORTANT

If you running Rename register.php by BOP5 you need to edit 2 templates

https://vborg.vbsupport.ru/showthread.php?t=297834

1st search in languages for

$vboptions[bburl]/register.php?so=1&emailcode=$emailcode

Edit register.php to what you renamed as and save

2nd edit in template : reg_ver_start

<form id="registerform" action="register.php" name="register" method="post">

again look for register.php and change to what you renamed

After that all should be good

Note : CSS / FOOTER FIXED !!!

This MOD is not forwarding the person's birth date.
After they register and you go into ACP > Users and look them up, their birthdate is not recorded. Can someone please look into this?

I started getting a fresh deluge of spam registrations. I require approval for registrations so none of them get through, it's just a pain to go through them all. recaptcha is useless. Half these come from gmail addresses so of course Google is going to be no help in solving it.

This plugin stopped the spam registrations completely. Yeah, someone could code around it but I've found that using tactics like this that are the exception rather than the rule rarely merits that kind of attention from the spammers.

The only downside is that one of the most common sources for spam registration (besides gmail) is now bouncing these validation emails as spam. The developer said that the email ban list is still honored but these emails are coming from a banned domain so I assume that he must mean that it's still honored in the main registration process. That doesn't help with the bounce problem.

I have received the following database error several times.

Database error in vBulletin 4.2.5:

Invalid SQL:
SELECT * FROM userregcode WHERE userregemail = 'jessical'estrange84@term.foooq.com';

MySQL Error  : You have an error in your SQL syntax; check the manual that corresponds to your MySQL server version for the right syntax to use near 'estrange84@term.foooq.com'' at line 1
Error Number  : 1064

I get this error for emails that use the apostrophe character in the email address

jessical'estrange84@term.foooq.com

Can anyone help?
