MyBB Community Forums

Not sure if this is the right place...

I just noticed that nearly 7.000 bots has registered on 4 forums simply bypassing the security quastions. The stats when hovering the red/green bars only reflects 5-20 answered questions each.

How is this possible

Fix is in that post.

Thanks - Ill try that :-)

It didnt work. Those bastards are still invading my forums. Any other plugins that might be helpful?

You can try Stopforumspam

Yeah thanks, but bots are still registering without being asked a security question. This is a bug that the author should look into.

this reply might help (one of the links given there is already provided by Lee)

It doesnt work for me. I did all that 14 days ago. Another thing is that I have email confirmation turned ON, But right after registering, users are automatically logged in. I dont think that is the intention of email confirmation... or is it?

^ have you also tried the alternate plugin for registration questions ?

Forumspam does not work for 183.
