captcha is actually the best solution you can get. but i don't know if mp4 can bypass captcha. but i don't think so.

I would start with it, and if it doesn't stop, then try something else.
 
there is a way to prevent autoposters (not all tho).you can contact their coders to give the user agent to bloc.
also as far as I remember vbultin captcha has been cracked and it's been updated.to make sure that they don't byoass it use reCaptcha instead.

Click to expand...

just pm jayfella the name of list of using mp4 who is doing in wrong way
his username and ip
he will block it :)
 
Detect and ban them..It's easy to differentiate between a normal poster and a person using a multi-poster..There is thread on WJ with info about how to detect Multi-posters..
 
Can I suggest a best way ??

Just ban all the user agent except FF, Chome, IE & Opera (PC version) & Safari.
Auto Poster = Manually generated user agent.
so It will block them for sure.

I`m though not sure about adding some more famous browsers to list.
Hows my idea ?
 
nEw_boY .. i like your idea, but am not sure it's gonna work. maybe MP4 is considered to be one of those clients. plus denying access to the rest of people is somehow risky.
 
Instead of blocking everyone using multiposters, why not ban the IPs of those who spam your forum with fake links? There are many legit users who use multiposter the way its meant to be used. No point in blocking everyone in that case or you might be missing out on many great posters who post legit links using multiposter.
 
Prazsky. u're right.. the problem is that even legit posters who were used to post legit downloads, started posting this fake movies. i believe many forum owners noticed this. so am not willing to permanently block auto-posters. i just need to block temporarily until this issue is solved with uploaders
