Spambot Stopper - Prevent Spambots from Registering
Developer Last Online: Sep 2020
What is it?
---------------------------- This mod rejects registrations where the form is filled out in less than a minimum time. You can configure one of the following actions to be taken when an automated registration is detected: - Show a "No Permissions" page - Display the "Successful Registration" message but without creating an account - Redirect the user to any URL you choose - Reload the registration page with an error message of your choosing You can also provide a list of email addresses to be notified each time a registration is blocked. Added for version 1.1.1: Time delay enforcer, maximum time option, time limits to cut down on email notifications, posting to a thread. In the future, I'd like to add some simple logging and statistics, and a summary type of email notification (because people seem to quickly get tired of the single emails). Note: I coded this myself from scratch, but I would like to acknowledge a couple of previous mods that used this same idea, by users Calorie and noppid, and maybe others. In any case, I believe this one adds some features that the others don't have. Other advantages: no ads or links, no abuse of update notifications, no disappearing features, no threats to delete the mod (it will never be deleted, at least by me). Also, translations are allowed. Installation: ---------------------------- 1) If you have "Is Bot", "Stop the Registration Bots", "Spammers Suck!", or another mod that works on registration time, note any admincp settings for that mod then uninstall it. 2) Import the product XML file from the Product Manager. 3) Go to Settings > Options > Spambot Stopper Options and configure the desired settings. 4) IMPORTANT: try to register a new user to make sure that there are no problems with humans registering. If you want, you can also temporarily set the minimum time to a higher value (like 60 seconds) and test to see if the spammer rejection is working. History: ---------------------------- 1.1.1 (Feb 16, 2013)
1.0.1 (Feb 01, 2013)
1.0 (Jan 31, 2013)

Oh, I thought you said it was working. But I'm not sure I understand - it shouldn't have any affect on any RSS feeds, if that's what you mean.

The problem of having RSS posts flagged for Moderation is still waiting to see if it has been fixed. Won't know until the RSS finds another post to add Does this make sense? On second thought- I'm getting my forum problems mixed up - I think you did fix it with the temp change. Sorry about the confusion. lol |

It's OK, and you can test whatever you want of course. But I would have been really surprised if this mod was causing problems with an RSS feed.

Thanks can you re-explain how the fix worked though - in really basic terms

Anyway, when looking at some code to make sure I was explaining it right, I now think it might not be a good idea to make that change. It looks like if you do that, the vbulletin code tries to update the current user's info to reflect that notification, which it shouldn't be doing. So I won't bother explaining it (I'm not sure I can do a good job anyway), but I also think it might be a good idea to change that line back to 'sbs' and wait until I hear from the spam-o-matic author. |

I did notice another problem though not sure if related I received emails of both "Registration Rejected" and "Registration Successfull" but the thread only show the "Rejected" ones - not the "Successful" ones PS: I have had the built-in Vbulletin email notify of "Successful Registrations" disabled since it duplicates the Emails from your Mod |

Sorry to say, it's been so long now that I don't remember, but I think we decided that the posts don't use the time limits the way the emails do, so I think right now you only ever get posts for failures. That fix is going to have to wait for the next update. |

One bad thing about having the notices sent via email vs. a thread
This Mod stopped so many over the weekend that my server was listed by google as a suspected bulk-email-spammer so I've had to disable them I hope this is part of the upcoming Spam-O-Matic bugfix update so I can get back to posting the notices in a thread. |
