Yea…you need something to block spammers. Maybe make registration harder (aka those pictures you need to dicifer and then type out).

You could also require the new user to click an activation link sent to them via email in order to post.
Both that and the picture thing should really cut down on the number of automated spammers we get hit with.

image verification is already in use and bots are getting passed it.
HOWEVER I got a new plugin I have to install taht SHOULD eliminate all bots completely. It will ask a question, obvious question, but one we make up, that bots will never understand, but any human can answer.

Singh, you should have registration verification by personally activating all new members! lol. They will have to call your cell and you can give them a password, lol.

Here’s something that might trip a bot up. Time how long it takes them to register. A human cannot register in anything less than 30 seconds. A computer probly takes less than 1.
I’m not sure if Vbulletin has the capabilities to do that, but if you can get access to the HTTP Requests then you can time stamp when they are sent. And just compare the time between sending the HTTP Response that contains the register page and the time you get the submit request for that page.
