Hello - We are having problems with spam showing up with Anonymous as the member name. Since all members need to be OK'ed, how are these jokers getting past this, and how do we stop it?
Thanks!
JB

Not sure what you mean by this - Does this happens all the time and UBB is very hackable, or it is actually strange....?

No thats strange,
your saying that you have memebership to be approved.
So its got to be strange.
I doubt its "Very Hackable"

Anyone know of any clues I could look for in the members list to maybe filter out these yahoos?
Thanks -

What version are you currently running? Older versions did have a few ways for innovative users to post on user only forums.

In my UBB.threads 6.0.1 i had the same problem as you. The problem was, if using unicode characters, the browser translated it into real digits. Instead of register with "ABC" you could use so it looked like there were 2 users with the username "ABC" Try add this code to adduser.php
$Username = html_entity_decode($Username);
$Username = str_replace("&","",$Username);
$Username = str_replace("#","",$Username);
$Username = str_replace(";","",$Username);
$Username = str_replace("%","",$Username);

Hi Peter - I'm not sure that this solves our problem. We just want to keep spammers from hacking in, avoiding our registration que. We have been very successful using the que as a way to filter out spammers, until this.......
Cheers

Hi JB If you wants to avoid spammers from register, I think the only solution is captcha. I have implemented a captcha for registration and guest postings. If you, or others users, wants a description how to implement a captcha, let me know. You can see my captcha here. It's not the world most secure captcha, but it have kept my forum free from spamregistrations and spamposts.
