How do i stop auto posters

I know its very tough ... but is there a way i can enable captcha for new registered users for posts say till 20 posts and then they continue normal as regular members.

Or make a group where all new members are put on and on that group all have to put captcha to post anything and when they are upgraded after certain posts and days to a new group they continue as normal

Can anyone help ... using 3.1.4

You can put every new member on "moderator watch" so all their posts will have to be approved by an staff first. (till they reach a certain amount of "approved" topics.

Then you will see quite quick if you are dealing with an auto poster or not.
Most of the times you will see the post time intervals and/or the quality of the posts/topics.

And when you know when you are dealing with an auto poster, just ban his ass

I do it like that too, but you need an very active/staff team for doing it like that if you do not have much time on your hands

Use the Ban in UCP hack & just ban em when you find one, you just need to go to their profile for the same & doenst need ACP Login.

Then login ACP once a week & delete all the shits by them.
There isnt any specific way to stop it.

I`m gonna end up real dead cz my main traffic is coming from Vietnam - The home of fake poster.

Hopefully it might help you and I can also strongly recommend the use of KeyCAPTCHA found here: http://www.besthostingforums.com/showthread.php?t=73521
