Probably only if they are using proxies and most of the time, such spammers don't. Otherwise normal proxycheckers may be unusable. But there's a solution since Tornevall (http://dnsbl.tornevall.org/) are now working together with "StopForumSpam".
Adding opm.tornevall.org to the list of rbl's should hopefully help here. I don't know if this plugin supports bitmasking? Just to lower the risk of false positives.
Almost 20000 spamhosts has been added to the blacklist, since 2009-07-16.

Does anyone know if this plugin is compatible with VB4?

The proxychecker itself should be compatible since it's all about resolving ips from blacklists, but it's not sure that the rest of the plugin is (like errormessages etc). I haven't actually tested it myself yet, but I'm working on it. :)

I have installed this on 3.8.4 it didn't break anything so far so I guess we will see how it goes as far as being effective.

I'm trying to update this plugin with TMM-TT's advise. All of a sudden I'm getting bombarded with auto registrations. They post a DivX url and add all kinds of garbage into the profile "Man, ICQ number......". So annoying.

I know this is a strange questions, but has anyone tried this on 4.2? I don't see any good RBL registration blockers for the 4.x series.

Just looking to clear up the database a bit and was wondering if i temp[orary uninstall this mod, does it remove any database tables with it.
If so, what are the specific tables/columns created by this mod?
Thanks!
