Hey guys,

I am regularly getting emails from people with difficulty registering. They get the following error:

I have IP Check - disabled
Username check - enabled
Email check - enabled

Akismet and StopForumSpam are all enabled

This guy trying to register was going for the username, "Timm". Someone else also had an issue and their username as was "asfii". I'm thinking the dual letters is somehow throwing a trigger on the Username check?

I still get a LOT of spam registerations - probably 10 per day - luckily all with links under post count of 5 get auto moderated so I have a chance to review, but it's still a pain in the ass and didn't exist before.

What are other options to prevent false registrations?

Enable email and IP check and disable username check and that will stop the majority of your problem.

I wonder if they are getting smarter. I had IP and eMail turned on earlier and still getting 8 - 10 registrations per day like this:

2013-01-04 23:23:53 120.40.148.164 qwijk0b6t [email protected] Passed StopForumSpam checks. Sent to vBulletin Registration System.

I have Remote IP Expiry set at 45. I bumped it down after I thought I had some false positives on IP. ... what's a good number people are using?

I changed the name of the admincp folder and the new name is in the config file.... Can I just put your file into the renamed folder or does it need to be called admincp?

the above link no longer works if you can post another one so I can check it. Also check you have configured all settings correctly and you have the right files installed in the right folder. A fresh install of all files and xml might help
