Hey there boonex land. I know I know.. it has been a LONG time sense I have posted something here... well.. that is because I think it is only good to post if it means something!
I think this fits the bill!
Many sites that are Boonex sites are targeted by Spammers. This means THOUSANDS of fake profiles to spam your blogs, events, users, etc... This can not only cause you problems with SEO... it can also cause you to lose your site! I have personally seen over a dozen sites taken down from bunk code injected by blog spammers.
So... how can we stop this? Well, Boonex has make AWSOME efforts to stop it! I mean these guys are up against a huge problem and have taken all efforts to assist in stopping it... But.. no matter how hard we try, these guys find a way in.
Here is one thing you can do ( PLEASE NOTE... MOST OF CHINA WILL BE BLOCKED!!!! IF YOU WANT CHINA MEMBERS THEN DO NOT DO THIS!!!)
Open you .htaccess file.
Right under:
Options -MultiViews -Indexes
Post this
order allow,deny
deny from 211.38
deny from 60.169
deny from 58.22
deny from 61.160
deny from 222.186
deny from 125.71
deny from 183.14
deny from 205.209
deny from 59.58
deny from 121.206
deny from 220.181
deny from 180.87
deny from 60.166
allow from all
NOW.... Scroll ALL THE WAY to the bottom and under:
</IfModule>
post:
#get rid of bad bots
RewriteCond %{HTTP_USER_AGENT} ^majestic12 [OR]
RewriteCond %{HTTP_USER_AGENT} ^Baidus [OR]
RewriteCond %{HTTP_USER_AGENT} ^MJ12bot
RewriteRule ^(.*)$ http://www.whitehouse.com/
Now... what we did is block spammer IP's from China ( magority of spammers currently)
AND... all Bots that are harmfull are redirected to the The white house..lol ( no good bots, only spammer bots)
This is just a start to the list. I will add more IP addresses as they come available to me.
I would like to thank KrushRadio.com for assisting me in this list.

That is all.
Try this link Newton27 sent me, it works!!!!
From getting 20 to 30 fake profiles per day to 2 to 4 fake profiles per week and at the same time you don't have to keep updating the.htaccess file.

Robin,
Adding the additional question,
i.e.
"What is 5+5"
"Are you Human?"

I appreciate the comment, but the one who originally posted how to do this is Rhimpr, I just encouraged it a bit more.
Blocking IP addresses by typing in restrictions in httaccess file isn't a practical solution. Attackers can just see more
Facbook how to make money with China? a lot of money in my opinion.
I have big problem with spam but I do not want to block 1 billion by Persson :-(
A lot of spammers are able to create fake accounts simply because a Join in page is either standard by default or too simple. If you are running a professional website and care about your members that I suggest the following
1. Make your Join in page unique - add more see more
