[Forum] Commercial users

[Mr.Bennet]

Hey!

I sometimes get users that makes commercial on my site. It´s a bot or something. Any tips how to block this? Maybe I could decide that only members from my country could join?

If you're not using "Question and Answer" verification as your form of Human Verification you can block most bots by switching to it.

However you will never be able to stop 100% of spam as there are some humans being paid to post spam and they can get around any "bot" check you put in- it is a fact of life. The best defense is to have an active moderator staff and tell your users how they can report spam to you (using the report post function.)

There are a number of anti-spam modifications available on vBulletin.org as well that can help.
