Administrators Nabeel Posted November 29, 2008 Administrators Report Posted November 29, 2008 Spambots? Can I see? Quote
davehardy Posted November 29, 2008 Author Report Posted November 29, 2008 I deleted him usually @gmail.com users.I use this site http://www.stopforumspam.com/ to check if they are spambots or real people. Quote
Administrators Nabeel Posted November 29, 2008 Administrators Report Posted November 29, 2008 Hmm your pilot list is empty. I guess you deleted them? I'll try to integrate recaptcha Quote
davehardy Posted December 2, 2008 Author Report Posted December 2, 2008 Spambot is back go check Quote
Administrators Nabeel Posted December 2, 2008 Administrators Report Posted December 2, 2008 Well you can just reject their registration and then delete it.I'll see if I can conjure up some anti-spam stuff easily. Quote
davehardy Posted December 2, 2008 Author Report Posted December 2, 2008 maybe a email or IP banning system? Quote
Administrators Nabeel Posted December 2, 2008 Administrators Report Posted December 2, 2008 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/ Quote
davehardy Posted January 27, 2013 Author Report Posted January 27, 2013 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. Quote
davehardy Posted January 27, 2013 Author Report Posted January 27, 2013 there is a new one can I add this to the current VMS? http://server251.theory.cs.cmu.edu/cgi-bin/sq-pix Quote
