    Hey does anyone know how to stop spammers on my vbulletin forum

    Im not talking about one off spammers, im talking routinely daily spam, ive banned then same usernames come back.

    Same type of spam everytime, looks bot generated spam.

    There must be a way as there spamming everyday like 5 times+ and no other vbulletin forums are like that.

    Ohh and does anyone know where i can change my moderators priveleges so they can ban

    Anyhelp is appreciated?

    How do you do that?

    Ive banned these "bots" several times via ban user.

    Id also like to know how to give the moderators ban priveleges?

    Change the registration process. This was happening soooo much on my forum. I changed some things in the Human Verification Library. I did the question and answer verification and I have not had one spammer since....
