About vBPlusMe.com |
vBPlusMe.com is an online Technical Collaborative Community that allows our members to set up unique personal profiles to facilitate effective communication and interaction between members. vBPlusMe members can view each others' profiles, communicate with each other through chat/instant messaging, public forums and the private messaging system built into the service. The system also provides facilities to post photos, post journals and comments, upload and download files and data and other features designed to facilitate meaningful information exchange between members. vBPlusMe members can change their profile information at any time and can control how other members and the service communicates with them.
Because all of the interactions on this website are closely tied to active Online Forum Businesses, we, at vBPlusMe.com are especially concerned about online privacy issues.

Stop nuisance spammers and their automated spambots before they can pollute your site. vBPlusMe SPAMBUSTER is a professional set of Spam Prevention scripts that have been rigorously field tested and proven to effectively stop 99.9% of all automated spam registrations. The vBPlusMe scripts operate independently. They do not interact or interfere with any of the functionality of the standard vBulletin spam prevention engine or any of its componentents but rather use a complex set of custom filters, lookup tables and other custom scripts to detect Bad Guys, both automated and manual submissions by would-be spammers.
If a new bad guy spammer is detected, the script dynamically adds them to the known spammer list and future attempts to register are denied access.
Don't waste another minute moderating members, or trying to figure out if they are spammers or not, let them all in when the sign up, the vBPlusMe Scripts will do the rest!
Note: Although no method to stop spam is 100% effective, the facts speak for themselves, numerous field tests of the vBPlusMe scripts have consistently returned 99.9% effectiveness results in finding, trapping and dispatching automated spambots (Details about every attack are logged so effectiveness can easily be verified). Because fighting Spammers is an "ongoing" battle, the vBPlusMe script are continuously being updated and modified to detect and prevent new threats discovered.
