How to avoid mass spam in every sections

Hey
Some times Our forum get mass spam in every sub forums from a single user. At that time he post in every threads. I know it's a bot.
Please tell me what are the best settings and plugins to avoid it?

 

You could do a probation system for 7 days like digitalpoint. In that time a member has limited permissions and has to verify everything the user does like making a thread or sending a pm.

 

as u seem to be sure he is a bot, ban his ip, make your registration process tougher, you can add text question in addition to the general image verification process, it works good on 3 forums I have used and it should handle half the spam down

 

I ban many IP's any everyday. What's the easiest way to add image verification to create a thread?

Thanks

hi may i know what software you are using for your forum smf phhpbb or vbuletin
generally every forum software comes with a antispam registartion plugin you have to install it

 

I am not sure if there is an mod to do that, you might try having a look at this add-on :

better you tighten up your registration process with manual question in addition to the regular verification mode,that should deal half the problems

you may look at following thread as well:

since he posts on a vb forum zone, it should be a vb product, unless he posted in a wrong section

 

You need many strategies to deal with vB spam. One method on its own is usually not enough. See this:

I would recommend a 15 second flood control to cut down on spammers. If you are sure its a bot I would enable email validation.

 

If i was you i would add an image verification system to try and prevent this.

 

how would u do that to each thread ? do u have a mod to do it ?

Guests can view them no need to sign up but try them it will stop the spam for sure

 

Install ReCaptcha
Install the "Stop Forum Spam" modification

Between those two things, your spam problem should drop to nothing.

The standard capatcha phrase was broken by spam bots a long, long time ago. And email verification is useless. Spambots create gmail and hotmail accounts by the dozens.

 

I enable Image captcha to make a new thread. Now spammers can't continue. That's a simple technique.
