[OzzModz] Registration Spaminator Stop Spam Bot Registrations [Paid] 2.1.1

[Max Taxable]

It's a recent upgrade to 2.2, but not a recent installation: https://www.hometheaterforum.com/community/

Great site. Nice job with it!

I suspect this addon is stopping the bots before they get to the spaminator:

Thanks!

I was wondering the same thing (this is the addon we use to upsell), but once you click Join Now, you still get taken to the stock registration page. The registration URL is still standard also. Not sure if that would matter?

Would love to hear any ideas you or @Ozzy47 have. Spammers are definitely still making it through.

 

[Ozzy47]

Has the addon caught any bots?

 

[Max Taxable]

Spammers are definitely still making it through.

This has no effect on the human spammer. Reading your source code I can see the addon is active on your registration form. I'm definitely curious if you have anything in your spaminator log as yet.

The registration URL is still standard also.

Actually no, what you get when clicking thru is a custom URL, /community/register/?accountType=1

 

[Ozzy47]

Yeah the code is there, so it should be catching bots.

Isn't this just a variable passed through, but ultimately the same code?

Yeah I saw the code there also, but am still confused because the log only shows my one test registration. In the ACP logs I see new registrations (like @Ozzy47 ) and other recent spammers - but they're not in the log:

Yep it's the xf default code.

and other recent spammers- but they're not in the log:

They are spammers because they tried to post spam? Or otherwise identified? Successful registrations will not show in the spaminator log.

Installed this morning.... current Xenforo 2.1.x
The plugin is listed in Setup > Options. Test mode is NOT set. Results to display is set at the default, 50.

There is no permission available to set in Admin > Groups and Permissions > User Group Permissions > Administrator

Additionally, there is no "on/off" toggle available in Admin > Setup > Public Navigation

I have rebuilt the plugin once. What additional tricks do I need to perform to activate?

Hi.

First thing, you purchased the Login Spaminator not the Registration Spaminator.
Although both are similar in permissions and navigation.
For the permissions:

Thanks for the quick reply. Back to keep spending.

I can switch the license for you on your account if you’d like.

I'll try out the login one as well, with 5000+ daily active registered users, it may provide some useful data too. But thank you for the offer.

 

[Ozzy47]

Ok, thanks for the purchase.

Ok, thanks for the purchase.

Now go kick your server/paypal connection so it starts working and I an purchase THIS plugin

 

[Ozzy47]

Seems PayPal is having issues.

 

[Faust]

Is this will stop all spammer to try to register?

 

[Ozzy47]

Only spam bots, which is about 90% of all spam, not human spammers.
