Hello,
I run a forum receiving 80,000+ unique daily visits that I'm considering moving from ezboard to vbulletin.
Among other glaring deficiencies, ezboard doesn't allow us any way to pre-screen forum trolls and spammers. Their 'membership by approval' feature only shows a user's screen name and profile - nothing more.
Does vbulletin offer a way to require that, for example, a user's IP address MUST match their email domain upon registration? Failing that, is there at least a block list for email domains so that we can eliminate the use of registration from free webmail accounts?
Our forum is far too large for IP bans to be effective, we need some means of restricting account creation in order to force our members to comply with our rules, while still allowing legitimate new users to easily join the board.
Thanks in advance!
