Moderators Functions - IP_NoRegister! Block problem IPs or IP Hosts from registering on your site!

Background:

This script is basically the same code used for my IP_NoView! hack but was created because a member asked me to modify the script to block specific IPs or IP Hosts from Registering.

How this works

This works through the use of three settings inside the AdminCP >> vBulletin Settings >> Ip_NoRegister! These settings include an ON/OFF switch, a list of blocked IPs, and a List of blocked IP Hosts.

If the system is on, a pluggin at the start of Register check the IP and IP Host of guests and compare them to the array of blocked IPs. If the guest that is trying to register has an IP that matches, then the system generates an error letting them know that the Administrator has blocked registrations by guests with their IP address.

There are mods which I can only say two words:
Must have!
This is on of them!

[BadgerDog]

Set it to block mail.ru in attempts to block spammers using that site.

In spite of that, the mod still allows registrations from that site?

What am I missing?

I don't think this mod is functioning, at least for the domain element blocking as above.

Thanks

Regards,
Badger

As Quarterbore didn't reply for my PM but Last Online: Jun 2007 I will post a language phrase fixed version of this mod...

This is ONLY language phrase fixed version! No any function modifications!

Badger, this mods works ok!
I think or you don't understand what this mod does, or you don't understand what you are talking about.

• If my computer has IP 123.123.123.123 and admin of forum with this MOD will add my IP to IPS' block list of this MOD I will not be able to register.
• If my computer has host name mak666.adsl.net and admin of forum with this MOD will add my host name to HOSTs' block list of this MOD I will not be able to register.

I don't see any association with two above any mail.ru
mail.ru just sends mails and it is not a proxy server.

Well, I probably don't know what I'm talking about...

I just took his instructions quoted below with AdminCP literally and assumed that anyone using the domain suffix mail.ru would be blocked.

List of Hosts addresses that IP_NoRegister! will prevent from registering!

Please list one Host per line in the following format:
proxy.aol.com
aol.com

Please note that the less specific you make this the more people will be affected!!

Thanks for the clarification.

Regards,
Badger

Hi

Just noticed today, that when a guest goes to register, he/she now sees, twice, this:
--------------------------------------------------
Warning: preg_match() [function.preg-match]: Compilation failed: nothing to repeat at offset 1 in /register.php(79) : eval()'d code on line 25

Warning: preg_match() [function.preg-match]: Compilation failed: nothing to repeat at offset 1 in /register.php(79) : eval()'d code on line 25
----------------------------------------------------

at the top of the page...they can still successfully register, but how can I get rid of this?

I think you filled wrong the setting in ACP for this MOD.
Try to download my "fixed phrases" mod here:
https://vborg.vbsupport.ru/showpost....3&postcount=23

and then recheck settings in ACP.

Both of you are trying to prevent users from registering their EMAIL as those domains. That functionality is already built into vb. User Banning Options -> Banned Email Addresses

This mod is to prevent registration based on their actual IP address they are coming from, not what email account they use

[flynnibus]

Anyone know if the IPs entered can be ranges? Like trying to ban all of Asia, etc? Using 88 with nothing after it, etc

[Ksb2050]

Does anyone know if this works with 3.7?
