Is there something that can be done for vBulletin for this? Can we just ban the user agent for the autoposter via htaccess?

I post porn in 4 forums, and I have has messages off admins asking if I am using a autoposter, as I post very fast, mainly because I copy the Post from my blog, these autoposters are very annoying as they post like crazy, and they think doing this will make them a lot of cash, maybe it does for a select few people, who actually visits the sites after posting, but most of them do not even view posts on the sites, they just post.

The main way of banning them is to add a capcha.

Rename a file the autoposter will load but no normal member will.

Then add a virus to the orignal file (or log members loading it & ban them)

On waz-warez ucp.php isnt used for login, i edited the filename throughout the whole script so no one except bots will load the file.


I just added logging to the file

http://waz-warez.org/ucp.php





Now anyone trying to login using ucp.php is certainly a bot & they can be banned.


Use the list to ban people on your site, its growing a lot faster than i thought it would
