KeyCAPTCHA Unique Technologies

• Instead of guessing symbols, our CAPTCHA offers visitors to complete an easy interactive task.
• If KeyCAPTCHA hasn't been solved correctly, page refreshing doesn't take place that allows the user not to fill in the form repeatedly. It occurs since there is an initial checkup of CAPTCHAs in the KeyCAPTCHA servers before sending a filled-in form to the protected web server.
• Our CAPTCHA also can be used even if your hosting provider blocks all outgoing connections.

Effective Anti-Spam Protection

• The geo-cluster is used to operate KeyCAPTCHA service. Our geo-cluster includes the servers located in diverse European data centers. Some servers are in the special DDoS stable data centers in Switzerland to ensure trouble-free 24x7x365 mode service operation.
• KeyCAPTCHA blocks spammers using anonymizers or anonymous HTPP proxies to distribute a hand spam.
• There is no info of correct CAPTCHA solution in the visitor's browser.
• CAPTCHA verification is processed by the KeyCAPTCHA servers.
• Data transferring between your web server, the visitor's browser and the KeyCAPTCHA server is protected by a digital signature.
• 112 to 165 bit variable length password is used to generate a digital signature.
• KeyCAPTCHA is a code executable in the visitor's browser. It is not a static image as used in typical CAPTCHAs.
• Having received our CAPTCHA, it's virtually impossible to transfer it to third parties in order to run any task what spammers also do bypassing typical CAPTCHAs.
• Probability of guessing the answer by submitting a random solution is 1 to 30,000,000.
• KeyCAPTCHA-used images are transferred encryptedly.

Compatibility
KeyCAPTCHA supports two operating modes: Flash and HTML5. The KeyCAPTCHA HTML5 mode is used in most modern browsers, such as Mozilla FireFox, Google Chrome, Safari, and also used in iPhone and iPad. The Flash mode has been developed to be used in Internet Explorer and Opera. While loading, KeyCAPTCHA identifies its operating mode depending on the visitor's browser.

I DISAGREE With You, Morrus.

As the Matter of FACT, KeyCAPTCHA STOPS 100% of SPAM BOTS, because SPAM BOTS Can't Solve the PUZZLES.

Is 100% Impossible to STOP SPAMMERS (Persons) From Registering, (NO SYSTEM CAN Simply Because Humans Find Ways to Try and Joke Any Registration System), but You Can Implemment and Configure Other Systems to Reduce That From Happening:

1. KEYCAPTCHA (Stops 100% of SPAM BOTS), So USE IT.

2. Create and Set "User Profile Fields", and Force Users to Write Answers in Them, so that They Have to Write Coherent Answers, (SPAMMERS, TROLLS, and LEECHERS Will Provide Wrong Answers and those You'll BAN For doing that because those are SPAMMERS).

3. Use the "COPPA Registration System", so that No Person Can Write ANY Birth Date, and Also to NOT Accept Registrations Under 13 Years Old.

4. Set To YES the "Moderate New Members" Option on the "User Registration Options", so that You Can Review the Answers that Users Make to the "User Profile Fields" Before Accepting their Accounts. Give Yourself the Opportunity to BAN TROLLS and SPAMMERS that Write TRASH on those Fields, they for Sure Will Be SPAMMERS.

5. Set "Follow Forum Moderation Rules If no, posts are always placed into moderation queue" on "Post / Thread Permissions" as "NO", for Usergroups Not Approved ("Not Activated" and "Pending Approval"), so that Every message They Post is Moderated, and that Way NO SPAM from HUMAN SPAMMERS or TROLLS is Viewed (can be Posted but NO ONE WILL SEE IT), and that way if they Post SPAM You BAN THEM and Delete their TRASH Posts. NEVER Allow those Usergroups to Create New Threads.

6. Use Also an Additional System as "vMail - Verify Mail before registration", so that No User Can Register Without Validating His/Her Contact E-mail Address.

7. Use Also another Additional System as "NoSpam! for vBulletin 3.7", so that Users Have to Answer a Validation Question (like a Mathematical Question or whatever related to Your Web Site), so that No User Can Register Without Knowing the Answer to that Question.

8. There are other thing More to Tell, but with the Previous Ones You'll STOP SPAMMERS, TROLLS, and LEECHERS, so much, that You'll Reduce their Registrations and Keep Them Under Control. Also Many Users Will be Annoyed by that, but You Have to Choose if You Want QUALITY Users Registering or Just QUANTITY (The Quantity don't Participate, they're Just LEECHERS).

I 100% Recommend KEYCAPTCHA, Because is a Beautiful AntiSPAM-BOT System, and Also Provides a PUZZLE System that Only Humans Can Solve.

Thank You Very Much KEYCAPTCHA. :up::up::up:

My Best Regards.

Hello, Morrus,
according to our verification:
1)
all registration on your site were created by humans,
no bot has passed, more correctly to say - was used to pass, KeyCAPTCHA for registrations
2)
Our stats shows that your site had 169 successful KeyCAPTCHA passing
(and I believe that "hundreds" starts somewhere after 200)
3)
Programmaticlly assisted spam could appear because you do not have verification by KeyCAPTCHA for already registered users.
So, it is sufficient for bot operator to register manually and continue spamming with a bot.
vBulletin has functionality requiring to pass captcha for users having less than 10 posts

Wahst's with all the aggressive CAPS and Random Capitalized Words?

That's not a solution. There are plenty of under-13 yr old members on my site. It's a family-friendly game site.

[quotre]4.

So your suggestion is to, instead of spending ages deleting spam posts, instead spend ages verifying member posts individually?

(and I believe that "hundreds" starts somewhere after 200)

Hundreds of spam posts. I deleted well over a thousand spam blog entries yesterday.

I feel sorry for having written about "hundreds" and that you are experiencing such a situation.
I am looking forward that you resolve it ASAP.

KeyCAPTCHA on registration ONLY cannot help against a manual registration by spam bot operator and continuation of spamming by bot.
You should have switched on the built-in in vBulletin captcha functionality for posting by users with less than 20 (I wrote previously 10) posts.

KeyCAPTCHA protects already 10,000+ websites and we monitor in real time bot activities.
We would have immediately reacted to it, have we noticed any breach by a bot.

Some of the websites protected by KeyCAPTCHA have hundred thousands visitors a day and are very attractive for spammers but we had no such incidents yet.

I Implemented Today the Human Verification On Usergroups "Not Activated", "Pending Approval", and Also "New Approved Members", Following Your Instructions and Recommendations, and You're Right a SPAM Operators Can Create Accounts, Pass the Registration and Anti-Spammer Checkings, and then Configure a SPAM Bot to Access the Accounts and Post Annoying SPAM Messages on the Forums.

Also can be Used the Mod "Throttle Posts/Threads (restrict number of posts/threads by usergroup/forum by time)", to Control the Number of Posts in a Period of Time the Usergroups Can Post (Specially New Approved Members); if a Spammer Registers and Passes the Posting Human Verifications, at least won't be Able to Post more than "X" Messages in a Period of Time of "Y" Minutes.

I Like a Lot the KEYCAPTCHA Feature that, if the PUZZLE is Not Well Solved and the User tries to Press the "Post" or "Register" or "Send Message" Button, the KEYCAPTCHA System Won't Allow to Pass to the Next Page (to Send the Form), so the User Won't Have to Press the Back Button, and a New Puzzle Will be Displayed to be Solved and Only then Pass to the Next Page/Step.

Great Features and Very Effective. :up:

My Best Regards To All the KEYCAPTCHA Team, Thank You Very Much For Your Efforts To Help Us Control Spammers. :up::up::up:

1. You Have to Set "KeyCAPTCHA" on the "Options" > "Human Verification", and Save that Setting.

2. It replaces the Image Verification Code so if Image Verification Works on Your Web Site KEYCAPTCHA Should Work Too because it Replaces the Code of the Image Verification on all the Places were it Works.

3. Also on "Options" > "KeyCAPTCHA Settings", You Should Write the "Private key" and the "KeyCAPTCHA code", and Save those Settings. (On the KeyCaptcha Web Site You Should Set the Code to Work on "vBulletin" Board).

4. The KeyCAPTCHA Team are Really Nice and Polite People (Read all their Replies), so Ask Them Nicely For Help (and Create a Ticket on their Web Site), and They'll For Sure Assist You and Help You To Solve the Reason Why the Code isn't Displaying in Your Web Site. But Ask Them Nicely, KEYCAPTCHA is a Very Good Product and Offer a Great and Useful Service.

5. The KeyCAPTCHA Team Will Help You With The Rest, They're The Experts.

My Best Regards.
