Vbulletin.org is being spammed by bot

[Jeff Ledger]

Hi Mike,

I fully understand how the spam works and how hard to make it stop. It's nearly impossible in a general forum.

I'm running a forum for paid subscribers and the method I'm using there that I manually verify all new registered users.

St like,

-Knock, knock!
-Who's there!
-Hi I'm a human
-So did you paid the subscribsion ?
-Hi I'm a human
-So...then get the...out of here j/k

When I'm posting this thread, I was though about the method that only licensed customer can creat a newthread, now I realize that I totally forgot the pre-sales question section so...there's are really no effective way.

Btw, hope someday we will beat all the spammers to the graveyard.
