Silent denial of registration?

by aris1234 » Tue Jun 11, 2024 10:53 am

Rather than tell the spammer that his attempt was unsuccessful so he can just try again harder, is it possible to have an option for a silent denial, or possibly even a false registration message which never comes in e-mail all the while while the account is not registered?

I'm on 1.3.10 - on PHPBB 3.2.7 - apologies if this is a feature on a more current release or has been asked before.

Update to the latest version (3.2.7?!!!!) then starting at line 486 in the main_listener file change the

$message
variable to whatever you want. It can be empty

Code: Select all

$message = '';
or a message

Code: Select all

$message='Success';
