Autoposter Connection

[jokerhacker]

since i used keyCaptcha, i forgot about bots
theoretically no bot can solve it, it's a little puzzle game, only humans can solve puzzles

Any captcha could've done that. Even Recatcha.
The downside is that, it drives away users.
That's why Captcha is not such a good solution.

why not block that user agent? or IP ban the user making posts constantly

for example just take a link of the suspected user a search in google, if you get similiar links at 25+ sites ,then BAN!

User Agent is firefox browser. You'd block 90% of the traffic if you blocked firefox.

IP ban is not good either. Cashwhores have access to dynamic IP ranges as they use DSL connection.

My suggestion to block:

My suggestion to limit:
Admin CP > Members > Member Groups > Manage User Groups > Member > Edit Group > Forum > Restrictions > Limit Posts Per 24hrs > Max. 20 posts per 24 hrs until 0 approved posts. (Enter 0 or leave blank to not limit) > Complete Edit.

jay cracked your captcha mod just like that?


& what do you mean it "makes them wait"

I'm interested as I run a IPB site myself!

The captcha question is shown in a window when using MP5, I could change the mod but it probably blocks the worst of the apps.

I had huge load problems so I thought the auto poster apps load the posting page grab the form values then post within 1 second.
So i made a minimum time between loading the page and posting

Do you want to block them or just limit them?
I have ideas for both types. Reply and I'll help.

Limit them mostly as i know i cant block them to the whole as i have blocked few hundreds of ip ranges already which did stop to some extent but sometime i feel those blockage didn't have any effect as they easily use proxy to bypass them

Even i use keycaptcha i am not bothered about people registering what i am bothered per tens ( close to 40 to 50) of autoposting bots are using to post at the same time
