The Arcive of vBulletin Modifications Site.

Pyrobyte · #1 02-05-2009, 07:11 PM

I had recently stopped a huge amount of spam on my forum with a mod that asks a question to the users. That worked great, until a few days ago when the bots started registering once again. Is there any other mod to stop spam?

Thanks.

search "spam" "all mods" "titles only" and you'll find a ton of modifications to help hamper spam.

Try changing your question. I did that two and it seems that after awhile they adapt. I think most people where using a math question.

The same thing happened to me too.

I also banned the spammers ips.
