I've got VBulletin 3.8.1,

I'm signed up to reCAPTCHA and have the public/private codes. Yet spam bots still register, it hasn't effected them at all. It's defiantly turned on too.

I've also tried the default CAPTCHA and ask a question, yet they still register. As if they can bypass them completely.

Any ideas?

It's most likely a person doing it, not a bot, there are a few hacks here at the site that you can install to eliminate the spam signups.

Use the quick search above, "spam" & one for "bots" "all mods" "titles only"

I use two systems to stop spam bots and since the creation of my forum, I have only ever had ONE spammer... and he wasn't a bot... bots just dont get through the systems I use...

1... make a custom profile field asking "Are you a spam bot?" with the default value as "Yes"... If someone wants to register, they need to match the Regular Expression "[NOno]+"

2... install this mod... https://vborg.vbsupport.ru/showthread.php?t=183917

Try the nospam mod and ask questions only those visiting your forum would know the answer too

Add more specific questions to the nospam mod.

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