Vbulletin vs phpbb questions

Are there less spam members with vbulletin, do they have a better system for weeding people ou?? My problem is i get to many spam posts and want to find a way to cut down how many spammers register on my site.

 

Any forum software gets flooded with spam. There are mods out there that can filter out most robot spam via improved captcha and other methods. I have a thread about this in the forums section somewhere.

 

thanks!! Just trying to decide whether i want to change over or not, if its worth it. Do you know if its easy to move the posts and threads i have with phpbb to vbulletin???

 

spam on phpbb forums is easily stopped completely and forever with a simple mod.

 

Yea, it should not be a problem. I myself switched just fine.

 

True. Try searching for phpbb mods on phpbbhacks.com. That's where I get my mods for my phpbb forum.

 

Thank you, im an idiot, i forgot i didnt ad any mods last time i reinstalled phpbb. I just installed spamwords and anti spam acp, we'll see how they do. Thanks!!!! Still wondering if its worth upgrading to vbulletin, i have a porn forum and am wondering now if there are advantages to upgrading??

 

You can only get less spam on vBulletin if you have the "nospam!" plugin installed.

 

Vbulletin is worth it. It has countless additional features. I'd highly recommend it if you're serious about your forum endeavors.
