Soldf Posted October 1, 2008 Posted October 1, 2008 We also need this patch urgently 50 fake regs so far today. Also they accepted the validation emails. Luckily we also manually process each application.
AndyF Posted October 1, 2008 Posted October 1, 2008 Anyone else tried Jason's idea > http://forums.invisionpower.com/index.php?showtopic=277065 :)

PSXHosting Ltd. Posted October 1, 2008 Posted October 1, 2008 Is it possible to do a manual edit update to that file?
bfarber Posted October 1, 2008 Posted October 1, 2008 Line 522 (approx) change$reg_code = strtoupper( substr( $regid, 0, 6 ) ); to$reg_code = strtoupper( substr( md5( mt_rand() ), 0, 6 ) );
tsutton Posted October 1, 2008 Posted October 1, 2008 Thank you, have patched up. Now waiting to see if it works or not...
Logan Posted October 1, 2008 Posted October 1, 2008 In 3.0 would it be worth incorporating "reCaptcha"? I've heard good things about it, never used it myself.
media Posted October 1, 2008 Posted October 1, 2008 I got 1300 new account today it was a spam bot and i have spent 6 hours or more to delete... I finally patch the system and stop the suckkerrsssssss... :huh: -_- :thumbsup:
Amy T Posted October 1, 2008 Posted October 1, 2008 Interesting I do not get any spam bots until after a fix for it was posted. First 1 in over a year.
Tedy Posted October 1, 2008 Posted October 1, 2008 Thanks for the quick patch. About ten users registered today on my board and posted p0rn links. Most of them had IP in the range 200.63.42.*, it may help to find these users...
Mesmer Posted October 1, 2008 Posted October 1, 2008 Interesting I do not get any spam bots until after a fix for it was posted. First 1 in over a year. and did you get this one after you aplied the fix?
TrixieTang Posted October 1, 2008 Posted October 1, 2008 In 3.0 would it be worth incorporating "reCaptcha"? I've heard good things about it, never used it myself. Whether it's worth it or not, it's already been confimed. ;)

Mesmer Posted October 1, 2008 Posted October 1, 2008 I installed the patch but still registering did you also upload the new backgrounds + fonts and removed the old ones?
Mark H. Posted October 1, 2008 Posted October 1, 2008 Remove the old ones? Nothing in the announcement mentioned removing the old ones. But I sure will if that improves my chances to catch a spammer.... ;)
marklcfc Posted October 1, 2008 Posted October 1, 2008 did you also upload the new backgrounds + fonts and removed the old ones? No it said they were optional
Amy T Posted October 1, 2008 Posted October 1, 2008 and did you get this one after you aplied the fix? Before. It was just interesting few minutes after the patch was announced I get my first bot sign up in over a year. I did go ahead and patch the system up.
Mark H. Posted October 1, 2008 Posted October 1, 2008 I removed the old backgrounds and fonts. The new backgrounds were obviously different than the old ones, but the new fonts all looked very much like the old ones. Are the new fonts supposed to look markedly different?
Jυra Posted October 1, 2008 Posted October 1, 2008 something wrong? A lot of IPS staff are getting yelled at and ripped into. Maybe. Can someone confirm that adding a q and a thing to registration stops them?
