[HowTo] Block the Multi-Poster Black

[jayfella]

Ok.

So the Black Edition of the Multi-Poster series of software got cracked, and now every noob and his cat are posting crap all over the place.

Since then a new release has come out, and a newer release is on its way. So, here cometh the time to be rid of the black edition:


This simple tutorial will show you how to block the Multi-Poster Black by taking advantage of its static user-agent.

EDIT: .htaccess

Directly below "RewriteEngine On", on a new line, add:

RewriteCond %{HTTP_USER_AGENT} ^.*(6a1pre).* [NC]
RewriteRule ^(.*)$ - [F,L]

This simply denies access to the bot.

Im afraid its not really possible without the consent of the creator, he can just change the user-agent. You can also add a timer-based detector, whereby it calculates times between page-jumps.

So when bots try post same thread vb will stop them , but question is how to change this time, from five minutes to 5 days?
