Spambot!

OK i installed phpvms at my other VA and got spambots registering as pilots lolIs there a way to stop this?Might need some extra security coding me thinks Dave

Spambots? Can I see?

I deleted him usually @gmail.com users.I use this site http://www.stopforumspam.com/ to check if they are spambots or real people.

Hmm your pilot list is empty. I guess you deleted them? I’ll try to integrate recaptcha

Spambot is back go check

Well you can just reject their registration and then delete it.I’ll see if I can conjure up some anti-spam stuff easily.

maybe a email or IP banning system?

IP banning could be a possibility. Email ban was there in 1.0 - it wouldn’t delete the pilot, it would mark it as rejected, so the email couldn’t be reused. That changed in 1.1. I’m thinking maybe a captcha or some sort of manual validation.But you can do an IP ban using an htaccess. I think that would be the easiest way - http://tools.dynamicdrive.com/userban/

seem to be getting more and more spambots registering even with the recaptcha running has anybody added more security?

I know you can buy recaptcha codes by the thousand from Indian wesites that specialize in it.

there is a new one can I add this to the current VMS?
