Spam Accounts
I love vBulletin but I'm just so damn sick of these spam bots registering on my forum...it seems like every 3-4 months we get "attacked" where about 10-20 spam accounts register a day. I'm really just so sick of dealing with this crap.
Right now I have NoSpam! installed and it worked on stopping it last time. Now it seems these bots have someone getting them passed the NoSpam and other stuff. I run a site for a video game community. Does anyone know just how these spammers discover our sites? Do they get our domains from vB somewhere? Something really needs to be done about this, their really ruining a great product. Any suggestions on mods or addons to stop this recently? I just can't say enough just how sick I am of dealing with this. |

There are numerous ways to stop them.
1. Enable recaptcha, in the admincp. 2. Install this Stop Bots There are a few others as well that i use on large forums that i administrate, you can always do a search for "stop spam" or "bots" here on the forums. |

I just installed it, banned their emails, and cleaned the spam users out. Let's see if it works.
Anyway, thanks for the reply. |

There are also some other modifications that may be useful (IsBot Time Check, Prevent Timezone, etc.).
