i have my own forum (non football) which suffers from spam bot log ins
i now have these logins down to a couple a week instead of 100 a day
1) ban hotmail gmail and yahoo everyone should have a real account these days all you do is in the ban list type in *@hotmail etc the * meaning all accounts
2) i have national flags on my account and the bots always 99% of the time pick Afghanistan so they are easy to weed out of the members list i do this as soon as i notice them
3) They 99% of the time log in at -12hours which puts them in the middle of the ocean somewhere an easy code install wii fix this as well
my forum has 2500 real members and 1million hits per mnth and i manage the spam bot control on my own takes a few minutes per day
hope this helps

Quite frankly this will never work.claystreet wrote:1) ban hotmail gmail and yahoo everyone should have a real account these days all you do is in the ban list type in *@hotmail etc the * meaning all accounts
I use Hotmail specifically to manage my internet forum subscriptions and eBay, etc. I have a "real" (work) account, but I'd get the sack if they did an audit and found insecure and non related emails in my inbox.
If we banned free email address sign up, I'd have to leave the site, and I doubt I'd be alone.

The bots get around the comfirmation code 99% of the timeausfatcat wrote:simply have a confirmation code for registration and bang there goes 99% of bots in one go. It's not really that difficult to do.
as for banning hotmail etc dont say this wont work because it does but its up to the individual forum owner and it makes no difference to those already signed up, doesnt affect them at all
.
I also have a very long banned list of emails etc and occasional lift the ban on say hotmail for 24hours to let someone join who specifically emails me that they cant join because for instance hotmail is banned
hope this helps
