Stop the Registration Bots for vBulletin 4.2.0 PL3 and up.
This mod will check the the time it takes for a vBulletin registration form to be submitted. If the form is submitted faster then humanly possible, the registration will be denied and the admin contact can be emailed about the event. First we will add a custom hidden field with a hash. Second we will insert a randomly named hidden field with a random value. This should make it a bit difficult to program a bot since the field names on all sites will be different as well as the values. Time stamps to check the time spent on registration submission are stored in a DB table and private. Installation is very easy. Template edits. Files to upload. Product xml file to import. Backup your database before any install or upgrade. To upgrade from 2.x to 4.0.2, remove the existing Stop the Registration Bots product in the ACP and then follow the installation file instructions. History 4.0.2 Added 10 minute delete interval Fixed bug in part 3 updated table query removed old hook code from product. 4.0.1 modify phrase vars modified install instructions for 4.2.0 pl3 templates. 4.0.0 modified to work with vB 4.x. 2.0.2 Edited file includes/stb_reg_process.php Added IP and Proxy IP to email notification. 2.0.1 Added tabindex="1" to input box template edit. Fixed onsubmit code in input box template edit. 2.0.0 Conversion from vB 3.x version to vB 4.x Reduced template edits to one. Edited all arrays to include single quotes.

No need to update.....
I have installed this on vB 4.0.8 and it is ever since running. Updated vB every time and running now without any problems on vB 4.2.0 PL3 since several months. |

In the second step, I think I see a typo in the instructions.
Under b) Find: <input type="submit" class="button" value="{vb:rawphrase complete_registration}" tabindex="1" accesskey="s" /> You have: Change to: <input type="submit" class="button" name="timeremaining" value="{vb:rawphrase complete_registration} in {vb:raw vboption.StopBotRegMinTime}" tabindex="1" accesskey="s" onsubmit"submit_form()") /> The "onsubmit" is missing the = |

Also, since I upgraded, I'm getting an error on the REPLACE statement:
Code:
REPLACE INTO stopbotsregistry (hash,rf_name,rf_value) values( '[Redacted]', '[Redacted]', '[Redacted' ); Code:
Unknown column 'rf_name' in 'field list' Code:
hash, regtime, uf_name, uf_value |

Somewhere along the line I think the upgrade procedure was to remove the product to remove the DB table and then re-install the product to create the new DB table.
The fix should be uninstall the product and re-install the product. Let us know it that works. There is no data in the table that won't be recreated. |

I have had this mod for a while, it has saved me so many hours work getting rid of spammers, when I have had it off after a crash et al I'd get flooded...JUST upgraded to 4.2pl3 and will be installing the upgrade tomorrow I hope.
I have had a few sneaking thru so it will be interesting to see how it responds, I will report back |

This is designed to stop remotely submitted forms by installing random data fields in the registration form. It's one tool in the process of stopping spam. |
