Stop Spam Bots from Joining

Re-useable Code  
No support by the author.

This is my first mod, so it is pretty simple, but it works well.

What it does:
This modification queries the stopforumspam.com database with the IP address and email of the user registering. If the IP address or email is found in the database, the user will get an error message and the registration process will be stopped.

What you need:
You'll need file_get_contents or CURL on your server for this to work. If one does not exist, it will try to use the other.

Install:
Just import the product in the Admin CP.

Notes:
If you want to customize the error messages, they are named "spammer_ip" and "spammer_email" in the Phrase Manager.

Updates:
Version 1.0.1
- Fixed a small error with checking the IP address.

Sounds interesting. Is there any kind of logging to show who was stopped and when? Also, is there a way through this mod to report a spammer as well?

Right now all the mod does is display an error message to the user and prevent the registration from completing, but those are good ideas. I may add those some time in the future. Thanks for the suggestions.

I've been looking for something like this. I get about 50 spam bots a day registering, and closed registration because of it.

Installing now! Thanks!

Due to a small error, the IP checking was not working properly. I have uploaded a new version with this fixed. Sorry about the error, guys.

There is already a mod for this.

It's called vBStopForumSpam and it is endorsed by www.StopForumSpam.com on their site.

It also has the features this mod lacks. Logs etc.

It works fine on my 3.8.x boards.
