The little maths question on registration one looks like it could prove handy.

wharry · #2 (**permalink**) 03-01-2007, 10:52 AM

Is this a website request thread?

st0nedpenguin · #3 (**permalink**) 03-01-2007, 10:53 AM

Yup!

Just posting the results of a quick Google in hopes one/some of them might come in handy stemming the flow of retard spammers signing up to try and sell me viagra in thinly veiled threads about side scrolling platform games.

wharry · #4 (**permalink**) 03-01-2007, 10:54 AM

Good plan!

Moved to the website support forum.

New fangled? You forget this thread where you did the same thing.

It's all new to me.

My brain is addled from a childhood spent down t'pit.

Yeah I have already added a huge blacklist of IP and blocked .info from registering. Will look into these options as well.

oh and not to mention I need to get the money to upgrade to VB 3.5 which is $160 and would like to get VBSEO for $150 too
anyways

Charge a one off fee of $10 on registration to the forums, two birds, one stone!

Tagert · #11 (**permalink**) 03-01-2007, 11:59 AM

wolfgang,
how to solve this problem very easy:

put a fucking picture descrambler that people have to type in the letters generated.

I've seen it in so many other forums. It should be easy to implement while new people registers.

st0nedpenguin · #12 (**permalink**) 03-01-2007, 12:05 PM

There is one Taggy, problem is the bots can get round it.

Tagert · #13 (**permalink**) 03-01-2007, 12:09 PM

how could they type what's said in a temporary picture?

An actual person must write that in.

This simple hack is meant as a replacement for the default CAPTCHA system in vBulletin. There are two main reasons one might want to do this: firstly, new technology is constantly being developed to crack CAPTCHA images and make spam accounts anyway, and secondly, the more secure the CAPTCHA, the more difficult it is for genuine users to tell what the numbers in the image are. There is also the issue of visually impaired users, and the fact that not all servers are capable of generating CAPTCHA images.

okey

st0nedpenguin · #16 (**permalink**) 03-01-2007, 12:23 PM

No idea how they do it, the crafty little buggers!

Tagert · #17 (**permalink**) 03-01-2007, 12:33 PM

I believe you !

Isn't phpbb free? I'm guessing there's a reason you didn't go for this in the first place though.

Tagert · #19 (**permalink**) 03-01-2007, 12:51 PM

well im sure you make twice or tripple my income so im sure you can afford it wolf

I've always thought it would be a good idea to show a small picture and ask a question about it such as "How many ducks are in the pond" or something like that.
