[OzzModz] Block Registrations With Spam Like Email Addresses
Developer Last Online: Apr 2020 
This thread is in the Modification Graveyard.
Another mod brought to you by,
 This is a small mod that will allow admins to block registrations from users with multi dotted email addresses. Original idea was asked by Snowhog in this thread. kh99 provided the basic code for this to work. Then cloferb posted it as a mod here. Which was just basically a C/P of what kh99 posted in the other thread. So I have released this as a full blown mod, with settings for all the variables. It is a simple installation, import the product XML, ozzmodz_max_dots The settings for the mod can be found under, [OzzModz] Block Registrations With Spam Like Email Addresses Settings Note: The error message they see when they exceed the maximum dots is this: " Oooops, something went wrong with the registration process. Please check all fields again. " I would not suggest changing it and saying something like, " you entered to many dots " or some such as this will just tip the spammers off.  Attention: If you are using this mod, Automatically deny registration for users with multi-dotted email address disable that plugin, or delete it, as it will probably conflict with this mod. Complete Feature List
Q. Why do I need such a thing, you ask? A. I have seen a rash of users joining sites, with multi dotted email addresses, and 99.9% of the time these are spammers, usually human ones. So by adding this you can prevent them from registering. ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- If you like this mod please hit the  button to the right ---->Please remember to click the,  button to the right if you installed the mod ---->What does 'Marking As Installed' do ? * It helps you to stay on top of updates - members who have installed modifications will be notified whenever new updates are available. * For security issues - vbulletin.org will contact all members who have installed a modification whenever a security issue is brought to their attention. * Marking a modification as installed also helps me know how many people are using my work, giving me extra incentive to provide more features and new modifications.

That would be the phrase, ozzmodz_max_dots_error and yes you can add links in the phrase.
I would not however tell them in the error message why they got the error, this would only tip them off as how to get around the mod.

Thanks for marking as installed.

If I happen to run across this, or others report it, I can always add it to the mod.

The + in gmail addresses is commonly used.
Examples: http://botscout.com/ipcheck.htm?ip=193.201.224.26

Thanks for marking as installed. BTW, I have been a member on vB Germany for some time, and my account is never verified, it's the same name as here.
