[Forum] The F'n Spam from bot registration is UNREAL.

[trailerswanted]

Is there no way vbulletin can come up with a better way to fight the spammers? I have a question and answer set and they still get through.

It's so bad and such a pain it just about isn't worth having a forum.

What's your question and answer?

+1

Also, make sure you have at least 5 Q&A's and they aren't something that's easily answered like:

• What's 1 + 1?
• What's the first letter in the word "Treehouse"

Spam bots are annoying. But yeah agree with the two lovely helpers here.
To get to that section go to admincp > settings > options > human verification settings > question answer > yes > save

I'm pretty sure the OP already knows how to get there lol. Look at the first post again

The best Q&A's are ones that would not be obvious to people other than those who have a particular interest in your forum subject (where possible).

So you guys don't use Captcha?

Hell no! For 2 reasons (at least for me):

• You can hardly ever read it
• Bots can easily get by it now since it's broken

Thanks for the tip. My bot problem has been increasing lately and these will help.
