IPB 3.1 have no capcha hooks before creating a thread.
But there are manyways to stop autoposters.
Some htaccess edit can stop them or use a hook

I have many idea's for blocking autoposters but will just add features when the last one was bypassed

I do have a custom mod that makes it very easy to see people using multiple accounts that works well.

About 25 members UID were banned after about 30 minutes

A simple nightly task can check for multiple users using an IP BUT many users use the same few fast proxies to hook to your site.

You could delete about 1/4 of your membership by doing this. Today more and more users are afraid their IP will be gotten when a site is seized and the database is confiscated.

ZOMG... They may get your IP... Grow the fuck up.... Unless the site is huge they don't give a shit about the small fry members.. You guys live in la la land...

It is not my fault you are not on any major sites.

As far as auto posters being banned might be better to to use a script to check posters ip than check for duplicate titles. Most auto posters use different names but do not bother to change the titles.

You can normally tell auto-posters by how fast their post count rises they are the 1's you need to watch.

i dont see the point of banning autoposters , autoposters work on sites like warezbb too but they never ban it

if your site is worth posting then people will know to keep their accounts safe and unbanned in it

if your site is shitty dont fucking expect people to post on it manually

simple as that

@gavo your site never gave me hits , so since my multiposter stopped working at yours i dint want to post manually in it because thats a waste of time , but if this was warezbb i would surely post manually , but wbb supports autoposters

autoposters are better than posting manually for me , because when i post manual i always foget the icon ids , prefix and stuff , but i have set my poster 100% perfectly to do the job

anyway when monkeys get machine guns things could get ugly , we should kill the cocksuckers who share templates in public thats how spammers begin

Until they are posting correctly no need to worry about Autoposters
they are the ones who get traffic for your forum...

What traffic?? From the thousands of AP'ers that are out there they are all posting the same stuff on every board. That's not so original don't you think.
And what bothers me the most that the AP'ers just doing this to "earn" some so-called money. Get real and get a real job!

And if the links would stay longer alive then it would be more acceptable, but just because they post their links on hundreds of forums the links die within a week. As a result of that, staff people from all those board have a full time job finding all the dead links on the forums and remove the topics/threads. And the forums that are not have staffs or less staff do not have the time to remove all the "dead link topics" and wind up with a database with all crap topics with dead links.
So if a visitor comes to a site and finds out that all the search queries he does on a particular download he wants wind up having dead links. What do you think he will say?? --> "Damn site, all the links are dead, I'll need to go somewhere else to get my stuff"

This is not the traffic/reputation we want.
