flyalaska Posted April 24, 2012 Report Share Posted April 24, 2012 Has anyone had issues with people making bogus sign-ups? I have been getting a few of these every day for the last 2 weeks. The names are always similar are always from different countries. Is there anyway to prevent this? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tom Posted April 24, 2012 Report Share Posted April 24, 2012 http://forum.phpvms.net/topic/5110-prevent-known-spammers/ This is pretty effective... I don't get any at all now. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Virtualei Posted April 24, 2012 Report Share Posted April 24, 2012 I have been getting them. A big clue I have is that I ask new sign ups for their VATSIM id and these spammers keep writing ASIAN GIRL in the box Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tutmeister Posted April 24, 2012 Report Share Posted April 24, 2012 Same here, we have seen them too. You could utilize http://projecthoneypot.com/, which is pretty effective and very simple to implement. You also could implement an empty form field that is hidden by CSS from a human, but automated spammers will fill it in. Then you add a clause to the php that rejects the registration if it has been filled in. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
