Yes qualityandsweet.info are using robots to do that. Do you have the visual confirmation turned on? That will help.

You may want to see phpBB for any mods that stop spammers

The confirmation code you entered was incorrect

Not sure why the confirmation isn't working, time to ask

#
#-----[ OPEN ]------------------------------------------
#
includes/usercp_register.php

#
#-----[ FIND ]------------------------------------------
#

$error = FALSE;


#
#-----[ AFTER, ADD ]------------------------------------------
#

$cut_off=10; //how many posts should user have before form fields are activated

// ---------------------------------------
if (($mode == 'register' && ($HTTP_POST_VARS['website'] != '' || $HTTP_POST_VARS['signature'] != '') ) || ($userdata['user_posts'] < $cut_off && $mode=='editprofile' && ($HTTP_POST_VARS['website'] != '' || $HTTP_POST_VARS['signature'] != '')))

VALUES ('" . $ban_this . "')";
if ( !$db->sql_query($sql) )
{
message_die(GENERAL_ERROR, "Couldn't insert ban_ip info into database", "", __LINE__, __FILE__, $sql);
}
$sql = "DELETE FROM " . SESSIONS_TABLE . "
WHERE session_ip = '" . $ban_this . "'";
if ( !$db->sql_query($sql) )
{
message_die(GENERAL_ERROR, "Couldn't delete banned sessions from database", "", __LINE__, __FILE__, $sql);
}
message_die(GENERAL_MESSAGE, "banned", '', __LINE__, __FILE__);

}

#
#-----[ FIND ]------------------------------------------
#
if ( $mode == 'editprofile' )
{
$template->assign_block_vars('switch_edit_profile', array());
}

#
#-----[ REPLACE WITH ]------------------------------------------
#

if ( $mode == 'editprofile' )
{
$template->assign_block_vars('switch_edit_profile', array());
if ($userdata['user_posts'] >= $cut_off)
{
$template->assign_block_vars('switch_edit_website', array());
}
}

#
#-----[ OPEN ]------------------------------------------
#

/templates/subSilver/profile_add_body.tpl

#
#-----[ FIND ]------------------------------------------
#
<tr>
<td class="row1"><span class="gen">{L_WEBSITE}:</span></td>
<td class="row2">
<input type="text" class="post"style="width: 200px" name="website" size="25" maxlength="255" value="{WEBSITE}" />
</td>
</tr>

#
#-----[ BEFORE, ADD ]------------------------------------------
#
<!-- BEGIN switch_edit_website -->

#
#-----[ AFTER, ADD ]------------------------------------------
#
<!-- END switch_edit_website -->


#
#-----[ FIND ]------------------------------------------
#

<tr>
<td class="row1"><span class="gen">{L_SIGNATURE}:</span><br /><span class="gensmall">{L_SIGNATURE_EXPLAIN}<br /><br />{HTML_STATUS}<br />{BBCODE_STATUS}<br />{SMILIES_STATUS}</span></td>
<td class="row2">
<textarea name="signature"style="width: 300px" rows="6" cols="30" class="post">{SIGNATURE}</textarea>
</td>
</tr>

#
#-----[ BEFORE, ADD ]------------------------------------------
#
<!-- BEGIN switch_edit_website -->

#
#-----[ AFTER, ADD ]------------------------------------------
#
<!-- END switch_edit_website -->










Of course you can add a notice about this in your template - that website and signature field will be activated after certain amount of posts or ask them to contact administrator.

Let me know if it works for you


UPDATE - if you'd rather only check against website and leave signatures intact use this simplier code:

Code:


#
#-----[ OPEN ]------------------------------------------
#
includes/usercp_register.php

#
#-----[ FIND ]------------------------------------------
#

$error = FALSE;


#
#-----[ AFTER, ADD ]------------------------------------------
#


// ---------------------------------------
if ($mode == 'register' && $HTTP_POST_VARS['website'] != '' )
{
$ban_this=encode_ip(getenv('REMOTE_ADDR'));

$sql = "INSERT INTO " . BANLIST_TABLE . " (ban_ip)
VALUES ('" . $ban_this . "')";
if ( !$db->sql_query($sql) )
{
message_die(GENERAL_ERROR, "Couldn't insert ban_ip info into database", "", __LINE__, __FILE__, $sql);
}
$sql = "DELETE FROM " . SESSIONS_TABLE . "
WHERE session_ip = '" . $ban_this . "'";
if ( !$db->sql_query($sql) )
{
message_die(GENERAL_ERROR, "Couldn't delete banned sessions from database", "", __LINE__, __FILE__, $sql);
}
message_die(GENERAL_MESSAGE, "banned", '', __LINE__, __FILE__);

}


#
#-----[ OPEN ]------------------------------------------
#

/templates/subSilver/profile_add_body.tpl

#
#-----[ FIND ]------------------------------------------
#
<tr>
<td class="row1"><span class="gen">{L_WEBSITE}:</span></td>
<td class="row2">
<input type="text" class="post"style="width: 200px" name="website" size="25" maxlength="255" value="{WEBSITE}" />
</td>
</tr>

#
#-----[ BEFORE, ADD ]------------------------------------------
#
<!-- BEGIN switch_edit_profile -->

#
#-----[ AFTER, ADD ]------------------------------------------
#
<!-- END switch_edit_profile -->
