![]() | search on VB Bulletin.com there is post on how you can avoid it. There is also a mod no-spam and a list of spammers email. I would also suggest adding some mandatory profile fields I have followed this and I have not got a single spam till now

![]() | iam having spammers like this : http://www.henryforum.com/forumdisplay.php?f=9 check out the last 3 or 5 posts. are they really a human come to my web and post those? or they are using bots to post? if they are really a human being coming and post like that then i dont mind. i have mods who can delete their post. but if they are using bts to post then there is a big problem here. how can bots register? able to recognize catcha codes and actiavtion thru email?

| Just keeping it real ![]() ![]() ![]() | Bots can, I don't know how but they can. Before I had installed the catcha hack I told you about, I was getting 3-5 a day even though I had e-mail activation and catcha images enabled. Like I said ever since I installed the hack I have had zero spammers joining.
