Hello, Here i am sharing some spam Protection tips that i have personally used! For peoples who got hundreds of spam threads/posts from bots type users. 1st We start with vBulletin Default Options 1: Make a New Group Based on "Registered Members" Group and name it whatever you like, eg: Verified Users, Active Members. and Turn ON Thrrad Posting For this usergroup. 2: Turn of thread posting for "Registered Member" unless they reply in 5 or some Threads. 3: Make a new "Promotion" in Usergroups>Promotions. User Group = Registered Member Set Reputation = Level to 100 or something you like, Days Registered = 1 or greater. Posts = 5 Promotion Type = Primary UserGroup. Reputation Comparison Type = Greater of Equal Move User to Usergroup= Verified Users or The UserGroup You Created in Step1 4: Now here we need a 3rd Party Plugin. Install Spam-O-Matic Plugin By Glowhost n your forum and activate it. You can get this plugin from vb.org Hope this will control spamming on your forum
