How This Stops Your Forum's Attackers

It's humanly impossible to fill out a standard vBulletin registration form in less than 25 seconds, and this mod hammers those registrants with a standard error OR redirects them to a specific URL.

When a spammer is caught, you have the option to receive a report is sent by email so you can see the spam hammer in action.

You can get Spam Hammer 1-Series for Free on here vBulletin.org by scrolling below. You can also search through the pages of testimonials this plugin has and see the effect it can have on your community.

1-Series Installation How-to

Navigate to AdminCP > Plugins & Products > Product Manager and import the product-spam_hammer Xml -- that's it. Installation video here.

1-Series shows, to administrators and moderators only, a link in the footer of all pages; this link is hidden for regular users and guests. To get rid of the admin-only link, you can get the newer and more effective 3-Series from our site.

3-Series - Click Here
We have a newer version several times more effective than even this, with no copyright. You can get it after installing 1-Series or from our site, vbresults.com.

As explained in the OP. But this is updated, has AdminCP options and controls, and has more options.

The only other thing this needs is a way to turn the emails off.

I have to ask here too. What's with the plug for the site linked to the "Check this out"? Essentially you just spammed your anti-spam mod with a spam link to a site that has nothing to do with the mod.

vbresults is the developer's own site.

This Mod bagged 50 spam bots overnight, 72 total since install.

It works on my 3.8.. The IPs wind up right in the box where they belong in the MU control page.

Is the box blank? Try adding a IP address to it, then see if Bot Blocker then is able to "find" it.

1.2 first zip adds the ability to turn off email reports.

1.2 second zip fixes an issue with adding IP's to the 4.x version of Miserable Users (reported by steviewonder44).

It seemed necessary. Enjoy
