Spambot Stopper - Prevent Spambots from Registering
Developer Last Online: Sep 2020
What is it?
---------------------------- This mod rejects registrations where the form is filled out in less than a minimum time. You can configure one of the following actions to be taken when an automated registration is detected: - Show a "No Permissions" page - Display the "Successful Registration" message but without creating an account - Redirect the user to any URL you choose - Reload the registration page with an error message of your choosing You can also provide a list of email addresses to be notified each time a registration is blocked. Added for version 1.1.1: Time delay enforcer, maximum time option, time limits to cut down on email notifications, posting to a thread. In the future, I'd like to add some simple logging and statistics, and a summary type of email notification (because people seem to quickly get tired of the single emails). Note: I coded this myself from scratch, but I would like to acknowledge a couple of previous mods that used this same idea, by users Calorie and noppid, and maybe others. In any case, I believe this one adds some features that the others don't have. Other advantages: no ads or links, no abuse of update notifications, no disappearing features, no threats to delete the mod (it will never be deleted, at least by me). Also, translations are allowed. Installation: ---------------------------- 1) If you have "Is Bot", "Stop the Registration Bots", "Spammers Suck!", or another mod that works on registration time, note any admincp settings for that mod then uninstall it. 2) Import the product XML file from the Product Manager. 3) Go to Settings > Options > Spambot Stopper Options and configure the desired settings. 4) IMPORTANT: try to register a new user to make sure that there are no problems with humans registering. If you want, you can also temporarily set the minimum time to a higher value (like 60 seconds) and test to see if the spammer rejection is working. History: ---------------------------- 1.1.1 (Feb 16, 2013)
1.0.1 (Feb 01, 2013)

And where you hit? They change the settings. It's not as simple or trivial as has been said. |

Max, we've discussed this before and as I said then, we'll just have to disagree. I don't want this thread to go on all night going back and forth when no new info is being added.
But I do give you full credit for recognizing the value of this approach, and reviving Calorie's old mod. This has hundreds of installs, and the other mod (that shall not be named) had hundreds, and I'm guessing a lot of people either didn't hit install or implemeted their own, so I'd say there must be at least a couple thousand installs, and it's all because you paid someone to update it. |

Well not to belabor the point Kevin, but minutes is the setting for max time, in your mod. Default is 1 minute.

So, a XRumer programmer would have to figure out what minimum time, and what max time, to plan for, for 10K sites. Hit and miss.And as you might know, there is a all new approach, coming. Works so well I am able to allow guest posting on my board, and still get no spam through. |

Well, I just meant 2 minutes, like 120 seconds. I'd guess that 45 seconds would be a good target. Or you could start at 30 and if it fails, increase it next attempt. You could ban the ip, but as we know finding another ip address for the next attempt isn't a problem.

Minimum time is where we can enter seconds. |

Plus I never got to thank you for picking up the fumbled ball so to speak, and taking the time to code this yourself with all original code. It's one of the best products on vBorg.
Thanks! |

Anyway, let's just enjoy the fact that bots don't seem to be getting through. |

I have logged many, many bot registration attempts, they go anywhere from, 0.623 seconds to 100001 seconds, but most of them hit under 10 seconds.
