Solution...

Add a custom question on signup with only 1 answer that people will know.

Example:

"Whats the opposite of cold?"
answer: hot

100% spam stopped, signups, posts everything...

How do you add a custom question? I have so many of those sites "joining" that I send all my time banning or deleting and haven't figured out how to keep them away!
Thanks

Adding domains doesn't seem to work. Is there some hack to make domains with wildcards work correctly, as IP banning does?

Are we talking about banned email addresses?

Its in your admin section, under vBulletin Options / Human Verification Manager

check off "Question & Answer Verification"

make a question and answer there.

On mine they still try to sign up, but they cant get in. Saves having to delete posts, ban users etc. As long as they dont get in, I could care less if they keep trying. Eventually they'll remove you from the list of sites to spam.

Go to Vbulletion Options->User Banning Options and on Banned IP Addresses add this:

I added a question / answer..

Bogus registrations stopped cold!!

Personally I find the "text window" difficult to read, and I have great vision, so I could not imagine someone with thick glasses trying to read it.

The question / answer routine works well.!!

Just got one of these, too. It registered and posted this:

???? ???????? - ????? ??? ? ???????? ?????????? ???????? ???????, ?????????? ???????????? ????????? ??????????? (IPL) ? ???????????????. ???? ???????? ??????????? ??? ????????? ??????, ????? ??? ???????-, ????????-, ????- ????????.???? ?????????? ???????? ? ????? ??????????? ????? ??????????????? ???????? ???? ? ??????????? ????????????. ??????? ???? ?????????? ???? ???????? ?? ????????? ???????? ??????? ? ????? ??????? ???????. ????????? ????????? ????????? ???????, ??????? ???????????, ?? ??????????? ??????????? ????, ?? 20-30 % ????, ??? ??? ?????????? ?????? ???????? ???????. ? ??????????, ?????????? ?????????? ? ????????? ???????????? ????????-???????????? ?????????, ????????????????? ???? ????, ? ?????????????? ???????.????? ???????? ? ????????????.

I don't like adding too many registration hurdles; it would make more sense to limit people after they register, not before.
