Stop the Registration Bots for vBulletin 4.2.0 PL3 and up.
This mod will check the the time it takes for a vBulletin registration form to be submitted. If the form is submitted faster then humanly possible, the registration will be denied and the admin contact can be emailed about the event. First we will add a custom hidden field with a hash. Second we will insert a randomly named hidden field with a random value. This should make it a bit difficult to program a bot since the field names on all sites will be different as well as the values. Time stamps to check the time spent on registration submission are stored in a DB table and private. Installation is very easy. Template edits. Files to upload. Product xml file to import. Backup your database before any install or upgrade. To upgrade from 2.x to 4.0.2, remove the existing Stop the Registration Bots product in the ACP and then follow the installation file instructions. History 4.0.2 Added 10 minute delete interval Fixed bug in part 3 updated table query removed old hook code from product. 4.0.1 modify phrase vars modified install instructions for 4.2.0 pl3 templates. 4.0.0 modified to work with vB 4.x. 2.0.2 Edited file includes/stb_reg_process.php Added IP and Proxy IP to email notification. 2.0.1 Added tabindex="1" to input box template edit. Fixed onsubmit code in input box template edit. 2.0.0 Conversion from vB 3.x version to vB 4.x Reduced template edits to one. Edited all arrays to include single quotes. Removed ACP Setting StopBotReg_rulespage_hash Removed Rules page instructions. All one page now. Removed file includes/stb_reg_signup.php Removed hook register_signup Edited includes/cron/strb_cron_job.php Removed Rules page query. Removed `rf_name` and `rf_value` fields from DB table. Moved register_form_start hook code to register_form_complete hook New Phrases stop_reg_bot_please_wait stop_reg_bot_seconds_more stop_reg_bot_seconds_remaining Removed phrase stop_reg_bot_enter_prereg_name Removed phrase setting_StopBotReg_rulespage_hash_title Removed phrase setting_StopBotReg_rulespage_hash_desc Download Now Only licensed members can download files, Click Here for more information.

Thanks for taking a look. We've had this available for vB 3.x versions. Then some folks in the original thread requested an upgrade to vB 4.x.

It's very similar I would have to say in some respects. We talked about many details that concerned you in the original thread. Nothing has changed really except that we made it work on vB 4.
BTW, the template edit code for the register template, while it works, is wrong. In 4.0.1 it will be...
Anyone with 4.0.0 will need to redo the register template edit on upgrade. You can fix it now if you wish to.

Most people can't fill out the form in 30 or even 45 seconds. But it's a judgment call.
