Hello all, I have a phpbb stand alone forum and somebody from this website [ Only registered users can see links on this board! Get registered or login! ] is constantly joining my forum with different names but not posting Question I think its down they are just spamming links from their etc. Is there a way of banning their website kind of thing from stopping them adding it? it would be good to ban them but without them posting how would I get an ip etc?
Cheers
mrix

Yes qualityandsweet.info are using robots to do that. Do you have the visual confirmation turned on? That will help.

You may want to see phpBB for any mods that stop spammers

Yea I can remember trying that option before but when anyone regesters it comes up with an error saying

The confirmation code you entered was incorrect

it also doesnt show the security number for some reason?

Not sure why the confirmation isn't working, time to ask [ Only registered users can see links on this board! Get registered or login! ]

#
#-----[ AFTER, ADD ]------------------------------------------

Of course you can add a notice about this in your template - that website and signature field will be activated after certain amount of posts or ask them to contact administrator.

Let me know if it works for you


UPDATE - if you'd rather only check against website and leave signatures intact use this simplier code:

Code:


#
#-----[ OPEN ]------------------------------------------
#
includes/usercp_register.php

#
#-----[ FIND ]------------------------------------------
#

$error = FALSE;


#
#-----[ AFTER, ADD ]------------------------------------------
#


// ---------------------------------------
if ($mode == 'register' && $HTTP_POST_VARS['website'] != '' )
{
$ban_this=encode_ip(getenv('REMOTE_ADDR'));

$sql = "INSERT INTO " . BANLIST_TABLE . " (ban_ip)
VALUES ('" . $ban_this . "')";
if ( !$db->sql_query($sql) )
{
message_die(GENERAL_ERROR, "Couldn't insert ban_ip info into database", "", __LINE__, __FILE__, $sql);
}
$sql = "DELETE FROM " . SESSIONS_TABLE . "
WHERE session_ip = '" . $ban_this . "'";
if ( !$db->sql_query($sql) )
{
message_die(GENERAL_ERROR, "Couldn't delete banned sessions from database", "", __LINE__, __FILE__, $sql);
}
message_die(GENERAL_MESSAGE, "banned", '', __LINE__, __FILE__);

}


#
#-----[ OPEN ]------------------------------------------

<td class="row2">
<input type="text" class="post"style="width: 200px" name="website" size="25" maxlength="255" value="{WEBSITE}" />
</td>
</tr>

#
#-----[ BEFORE, ADD ]------------------------------------------

<!-- BEGIN switch_edit_profile -->

#

<!-- END switch_edit_profile -->
