Hi,
I have a vbulletin 3.6.8 board and since 3 days I am having problems with spammers.
I think that boots are able to register users and write on my forum.
Since 3 days they are writing ads messages and all that I can do is to delete
the messages and to ban the user.

How can I solve this problem. I am using capcha.

The forum is on forum.studentville.it .

Thank u!
Peppe

Could you update to the latest version to be sure there are no leaks in the software?

You could start off by installing vbstopforumspam:
https://vborg.vbsupport.ru/showthrea...=stopforumspam

That will check a user's ip address, email address and username against the database at stopforumspam.com.

Then go through and find your users that you think are spammers.. delete the pms they sent then delete/ban the user.

The vbstopforumspam mod should stop most of them from joining in the future. I usually have it set up to ignore the username but to check ip and email and it works out great for me and others i've installed it for.

It is not a VB3 engine, just a parsed copy!
