[XB] Registration Spaminator

Compatible XF 2.x versions

License: Single Use License (may be used on one website)

Updates duration: 1 year ($10 Yearly Renewal)

Block automated registrations using hidden trap fields designed to catch spambots without affecting real users.

This add-on adds invisible honeypot-style fields to the XenForo registration form. Legitimate users never see them, but many automated bots interact with them, allowing the system to silently detect and block spam registrations.

Bots are redirected to a successful completion page while no account is created, helping avoid detection by automated spam tools.

Features:

Bot Trap Registration Protection: Uses hidden fields and checkboxes to detect automated registration attempts.
Invisible to Real Users: No captchas, puzzles, timers, or extra steps for legitimate members.
Silent Blocking: Bots are prevented from registering without obvious warnings or alerts.
Fake Success Response: Bots can be sent to the registration complete page while no account is created.
Detailed Logging: Record blocked registration attempts for later review.
Attempt Data Tracking: Log information such as IP address and submitted details.
Permission-Based Log Access: Control which user groups can view logs.
Testing Mode: Temporarily reveal hidden fields for testing purposes, with automatic timeout reset.
Log Page Result Limits: Configure how many records appear per page.
Works Alongside Other Measures: Can run with existing anti-spam tools if desired.
Lightweight & Independent: No third-party services, blocklists, or external databases required.

Useful for:

Spam Bot Defense: Stop automated registrations before fake accounts are created.
Better User Experience: Protect registration without frustrating real users.
Admin Visibility: Review patterns and sources of blocked attempts.
Low-Maintenance Security: Add protection with minimal setup.
