Installed...

I have been trying to find a complete set of tools to address this problem and I have a post about some of what I have learned here:

https://vborg.vbsupport.ru/showthread.php?t=158544

I have one site that I was not working on as it was slow and in about 2-3 months time the spam bots killed my small community. I got the site cleaned up but now I am out to learn more about their process to keep them out... I welcome the help!

Great hack!

I just set it to -12, changed the phrase to "** Thank you for Registering **" and send them back to home page.... :up:

I find that 90% of all my spammers come in from that timezone and don't change it.

Thanks

Regards,
Badger

THANK YOU.

This was becoming a major problem on my site. I'm glad to see there were others who walked before me and found a solution!

all my spam came from the same TZ.

sure beats a full manual management! I was physically deleting users daily!

I've just installed and done exactly the same.
Hoping to see a marked difference, it was becoming more than a nuisance!

Many thanks Dismounted.

Looks like an awesome mod. I am using 3.5 and tired of bots.

Can you make this work with 3.5 please? Thanks

Dismounted · #39 11-22-2007, 03:32 AM

In the plugins, find all instances of and remove:

Code:

 executionorder="5"

It should then install on 3.5.x with no issues.

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