Check for messed up headers using htaccess like missing refers etc. Rename some core parts. eg if you rename newthread.php and change it in the theme and code as well it will stop all autoposters. You can also change the input fileds. For example on vB the title is name="subject" but if you rename "subject" to something else like "topictitle" and change it in the php source code as well it will block all autoposters as they will get the error that they didn't enter a title. Their's loads of little things like this you can do which won't affect real people as they enter the new topic page by clicking on the new topic button so if that brings them to newpage.php they won't even notice.

None of these methods affect real people or require captcha. Now admittedly the coder of the autoposter can modify the multiposter but they won't do it for a small site. If WBB were to do this then ya they'd recode the multiposter but not for a regular site.
 
Great thread, i need to know how to do this aswell...

Theres a thread on here that tells you how to block the multiposter black, but thats old now. People are using multi poster 4,5/Blend & themeposter.
 
Why would you block autoposters?
Okay, everything gets posted on +100 & more forums.. but if you have a manual poster, he/she can also post on more forums that only yours. ;)
 
@downloadsmasti Sorry to jack your thread m8...

Rename some core parts. eg if you rename newthread.php and change it in the theme and code as well it will stop all autoposters.

Is it just the new thread button in the forumdisplay.php that i have to edit the code to the new filename for newthread.php?
 
Mr Happy said most of the tricks , but another best way is adding captcha code to login page :)

adding captcha code to login page can prevent all autoposter from logining to forum . and this trick won't affect to other manual members .

all autoposter software/scripts before posting , first trying to login if you add captcha code to login page they couldn't be able to login to your forum and all autoposter has been gone .
 
captcha code still can bypass it but us random question as security code this more effective.

still active human verifiying if user under 5 or 10 post then promoted the user to new rank after reach 5/10 post ..this new rank u must setup disable human verifiying at usergroup coz if no disable when they post code still showing

this more good and effective
 
Mr Happy is it possible that blocking in 1 forum and allowing in 1 forum i mean

Ex: alloing in games and applications categories and blocking in movies by ur method is it possible??

Because most autoposters are f****** annoying and spam the shit out of forums and if you are a real webmaster and care about your site then you wouldnt want every section spammed with 80 posts from the same user in like 30 minutes!
 
please keep in your mind over 99% of all spammers come from vietnam .

i was moderator of a few forums a i have noticed that 99% of mass poster and trash
poster are from vietnam and ha noi ,

as i said before someone in this country wrote automate leech script/software and he sell it to spammers and script kiddie's

so they use such script/software to fetch content form warez blog specially release
porn blog automate and re-up files automate to cash file hosting automate and repost trash/leech/stole content to over 200/300 forums automatically , with such script and software that they could be to post over 300 trash topic per day !!!
every 1 or 2 minutes they post 1 topic , and most of them have multiple account !!
and they repost same trash content with multiple account !!

i were mod of a few forums and i'm aware of this , i never see spammer from india or
pakistan , maybe you find 1 or 2 poster , but over 99% of worse spammers nowadays come from vietnam .

so if you're webmaster of warez fourm or if you've release blog i would highly recommend to you just blocking vietnam ip range with .htaccess .

just create .htaccess in root folder of your site and put these code below :

Code:
<Limit GET HEAD POST>
order allow,deny

allow from all
</Limit>

them they'll find your forum and they start mass posting thousand trash content per day .
