This mod calculates the time it takes to go between these two pages:
  • /forum/register.php?do=register
  • /forum/register.php?do=addmember
The point is to try and prevent bots from registering at your forum when the time between the two pages is humanly impossible, assuming that humans actually take the time to complete the registration page.

Should a user be blocked from registering at your forum, an email will be sent to your vB webmasteremail address and the user will see the vB noregister phrase message, so no screenshot is necessary.

Working good for me in 3.8, 60-80 legit regs a day with maybe 2-4 spammers getting through that I manually ban before they even post by watching registration emails as they come in.
Add a few extra questions to the registration and the bots stick out like a sore thumb...

This mod is helpful, but will not catch all spam bots. You need multiple layers of defense.
Look into stopforumspam, bad behavior, projecthoneypot and spam-o-matic.

Yes it works on my 3.8 and has stopped thousands upon thousands of bots and not interfered with even one human.

I haven't had this miss a bot yet. Not even one, out of many thousands of registration attempts. I got rid of most all other anti-spam measures.

HUMAN spammers.... Those are going to get through almost no matter what you do anyway but those are a extremely small percentage of the overall spam problem.

This Mod makes all the others superfluous. This one among them all should be part of native vBulletin.
