we already had captcha enabled via the IPB forum settings, i've now flipped it to use hcaptcha based on your recommendation, we have pages and pages of these signups (442 or so since early june) so I'm not going to manually ban+flag spammer on each of the signups that's nuts, what we've done is to block the most common ranges seen trying to sign up from Russia, using iptables on the server level, that seems to have contained it for now, thanks if anyone wants a CSV file with these ips, here they are Members possibly russian not validated yett.csv

so IPB can't do anything ? great. I guess we'll have to solve it then.

hi, I've noticed spam/abuse emails bouncing back in my inbox due to members failing validate their accounts in the last few weeks, so i looked into it and can page after page of russian based ip addresses attached to probably comprimised email addresses, however the IPB spam filter that I'm paying for is not doing about it, surely you can notice when countless russian ip addresses are being used to sign up ?? is there any way to BLOCK russia entirely using IPB ? thanks in advance for any ideas... cheers

can this be added as a feature request please ? it seems like a lot of manual effort having to go through the forums to enable this setting, thanks in advance for considering this.

thanks for the replies, can i easily 'mass apply' this setting to all forums ?

hi I don't know why search in the ACP returns nothing but I'm trying to enable the very nice 'mark as solution' feature how do i do that ? thanks in advance for your replies cheers

thanks ! that solved it for me, imho this info should be available by default and not hidden from view to the Admin.

thanks for replying but i cannot find that, and neither can invisions search feature. can you please point me to exactly where I can find this info, I've looked under MEMBERS and STATISTICS and nowhere can I find the total number of members...

hi, in the admin software I can see lots of info about users but no where can I find the total number of registered users, why is that info hidden away, how can I get that info ? thanks for replying
