For several weeks now, i keep seeing that many new accounts are registered in my forum with random emails and of course not with verified emails. Over 15 per day (respectably amount for my forum's size).

At first there were using static IP so i banned them and the @mail.ru they were using. Now they probably are using proxies.

Anyone else gets such weird registers? Due to some modifications i have still 3.7.3 PL1 version, but i'm getting ready to update to 3.8.

Everyone gets those. They're spammers. You just have to make it so they can't register. Try turning on your human verification options.

Yup, but not after I installed this mod: https://vborg.vbsupport.ru/showthread.php?t=176481

it is blocking literally hundreds of spammer registrations per day on my board.

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