Hello community, im here today because i hate this #$%@ing bots making stupid advertising in our beloved forum!

Please halls do something about it, in my forum i had the same problem, but it's fixed thanks to this phpBB add-on:
http://www.phpbb.com/customise/db/mod/nucaptcha_plugin/

or check more here: http://www.phpbb.com/customise/db/modif ... ti-spam-9/

Also, go to the member management and ban those bot's IP because they only use one.


If you need help just say, but im sure you don't need :P

I know that was #1 on Halls' list, was getting something stronger in place. Of course he has been very busy lately, and until then I will just be zapping them as soon as I see them!

I tried a few of these but many require a list of mods that are not compatible. I am going to have to redo the current registration page as it is modded. Then I can add in some of the anti-bot stuff. Working on it now.

Just be careful... Skynet doesn't like you tampering with bots. They don't like it at all :lol:

Halls, no need to make a top system , just ban the ip's of the current bot's users and then add a captcha

I'm already a member here, so it doesn't matter to me... but please make a Captcha that a human can actually read.

My cell phone keeps trying to get me to sign in to my Google Calendar by presenting me with the most unreadable Captcha I've ever seen. Nearly a week now I haven't been able to access my calendar on my phone because I can't enter the Captcha code correctly. :x
