You need to add the default skin to do this go to admincp/Styles & Templates/Style Manager/[Add New Style]
Parent Style = No Parent Style
Title = Default Style
Allow User Selection = Yes
Display Order = 1
then test if you still have a problem then remove this plugin and try this (https://vborg.vbsupport.ru/showthread.php?t=289463) one

And how are you approving them from admincp or another way. Are you a normal admin or a super admin. Have you ever thought it might be best to turn the approve option to no

I'm a super admin yes. I approve them through the drop down notification at the top of the forum next to the login (where the PM notification of new messages is). I have turned it off yes but that is the main feature that prevents spam posts. I don't find the hack stops registration very well. I would like to use it but there seems to be a bug where many posts just cannot be approved.

Hi there

I added the sytle sheet as you suggested and it doesn't work so I've removed the add-on.. I am disapointed but will try the other option you suggest. Do you think VB will add spam-o-matic as a basic feature in VB5?

yes thats the problem do a revert on them. You really should of got a updated skin for your vb version as your skin is very old also the default skin is wrong you put it as a moblie skin it needs to be no Parent Style that comes under standard style best to delete that one you did and redo it

Would you mind explaining in more detail please, where do I get a skin from?

I've deleted the default style and changed it as you said.

I am sorry, but this isn't usually my thing.

I've also deleted the spam-o-matic, should I put it back on once I've done the revert? I'm worried what might happen when I click revert to be honest.

Thank you once again.

you would get an updated skin from whoever you got it from in the first place if you cant get one then use one from here (https://vborg.vbsupport.ru/forumdisplay.php?f=247) we have alot of good skins for free also before you make any changes to your skin or files make a backup of everything once you have done a revert of them two problems then reinstall this plugin

We installed this mod a few weeks ago, and it's effectively catching a lot and preventing some spammer registrations, but it's allowing some to get through as well. We have our key from SFS installed, and reports are sent to them, but some spammers with lengthy records on SFS are still able to register.

Here's an example of an IP - 222.77.229.204. It has a laundry list of reports on SFS dating back to last June, and he was permitted to register 4 days ago. Why wouldn't SOM prevent him from registering? We've had other similar oversights as well.

Great mod, BTW! But it seems like it's not entirely effective. Thank you!

Your tool has another bug. Though based on your reaction to previous bug reports Im not sure why Im posting this.

If users are restricted from posting links in their messages (until they reach a certain post count) so as to block spammers .... your tool also blocks their post if they put images in them.

This is a bug.

Your tool should differentiate between a text link and any other random BBCODE that is used to do other functions like display a photo.

Users who post pictures in their first messages are being blocked and everyone is getting upset about it, for good reason. We only want to block what we told Spam O Matic to block: URLS ... .

Please fix this bug.

All of this is already correctly set, with the exception of some of the options. The only options that are not set are Akismet Key, Newbies Manager is turned off, and Auto-Moderation is disabled. To re-emphasize the point, I've been running the Spam-o-Matic for about a year and a half without any issues. This only popped up after the upgrade to 4.2.

Hi, I was wondering if there was a way to manually register a user that is being blocked from signing up.

I am still getting the same error "Registration denied, this forum runs an active policy of not allowing spammers. Please contact us via the "Contact Us" page link if you believe this is in error"

I checked the stopspamforum site and input his email and IP but it came back clean.

What other options do i have? I don't want to turn off the spam filter just for him this one time if possible.

Thank you.

Sounds like you have names ticked for mod to check at SFS. If you do, un-check names and then mod will only send IP and email addy's to be checked.

Is there any option in this mod that instead of denying registration, they goes in MODERATION so that I can check them myself if they are really spammer or not .. because denying registeration right away can deter lots of legit users. Also, generally people on dynamic IPs face problem as their IP gets blacklisted because once it was used by a spammer!

Our site has been flooded with new registrations from Vietnam recently, mostly using a @yahoo.com.vn email address. And they aren't blocked by Spam-O-Matic, unfortunately.

Any thoughts on how to block these spammers? Is it possible to block all registrants with @yahoo.com.vn addresses?

Edit: never mind, found this in ACP - User Banning Options

I usually create an account for them myself in the ACP and send them the details. That only happens maybe once a month at the most so may be more difficult on much bigger forums.

Their username is being blocked as it is now in the list of your own tables. Best thing to do is remove the xml and reinstall it and disable username right away. You must leave email and ip enabled all the time.

any api key from any site can be used on any other site. They just give out different ones for each site so spammers can be tracked but a api key can be used on as many sites as you want even if you don't own the key

You can't get an affiliate key. The hyperlink url takes you to a non-existent site. I'd think that Spam-O-Matic would take care of this, as it's in their code for this MOD.

I'm getting hammered daily with dozens of spam registered with .vn emails and vn IP addresses. This is odd because I get no forum spam or other registration spam except VN which starts about 2-3 weeks ago.

It came to a point where I had to block all VN IP addresses globally at my firewall, now they're using some proxy IPs instead.

They register with scrambled names like "hkjkld16sd" and put other scrambled words in every profile field like "ksjcskcjk".

I also have registrations moderated first.

It appears this mod allows any Moderator to access the Spam-o-Matic inline features. Is there some way to change the permissions on this? I want my admins and Super Mods to be able to use this feature, but I do not want regular moderators using it. Some of our moderators only moderate one or two sections of our large forum and I don't like the idea of giving them full control over being able to just delete/ban any user at will.

Is there some setting or switch I'm missing that will allow me to pick and choose which usergroups or mods can use Spam-o-Matic?

Also, I am having an issue with a SuperMod being moved into moderation queue. I have a newbies usergroup, all newbies go there until they have 10 posts, and I have the setting set to ignore anyone who includes URLs or links after they get 10 posts.

Still, every time this Super Mod posts a thread with multiple URLs or IMG BB code, her post is moved into the moderation queue. She has way more than 10 posts. Is this something going on in Spam-O-Matic or is there another vBulletin setting that could be causing it? I have no other spam/moderation add-ons installed and I have vB's native spam management system disabled.

I think I found the issue. It seems our mod was putting her posts in moderation on purpose using the Unapprove Posts function in order to format/edit/proofread them before making them public. The one thing I didn't do before troubleshooting the issue yesterday was ask her about it directly. *headdesk*

Hi,
I just upgraded to the latest version, and this version has the stats on the bottom of forum home.

Is there a way to make it so only Admins can see this? I don't really see a reason for anyone else to see this? Plus I like to keep my spam blocking secrets to myself and not let them know what it is they are working against.

Thanks

there is no modules folder unless you renamed the admincp folder as the only navigation.php file is in the admincp folder
If you have not renamed the admincp folder then this problem is from a custom plugin or mod
Check Navigation Manager for errors also any error logs you have post them

You're right. It must have been there before. I've since disabled S-O-M and still have the issue.

Thanks for pointing me in the right direction.

Do you actually have moderate.php file in the vapor folder in your forum root? Looks to me it's not in your forum root.

I have been helping manage a board(vb4) for a couple of years now. I have no background in programming and I "self taught" myself the admin control panel ( so please don't get too technical with responses!) We used to get over 200 spam posts a day and we narrowed it down to maybe 5 in 2 years when someone recommended SOM. GREAT PRODUCT! Now for about 2-3 months, we have noticed that there are about 20-30 a day that are getting past registration. I know the SOM is still working because it is rejecting around 120- 150 a day, but is there something that needs to be updated to get back to no spam like we previously were?

We do use re-captcha, email verification and our spammers are placed under moderation, but we are concerned about the number of bogus registrations rising now

Like I said earlier, no programming experience here, I only know enought to slide by. I was looking at our installation (done by someone else) and I only see Askimet API key I do not see StopForumSpam API Key set. Would we benefit by doing this?

My memory is a little fuzzy. I'm pretty sure there was a feature in this mod that allowed you to ban directly from a user's profile in the admin panel. Sometimes it's painfully obvious that a user is a actually a spam account and there's no need to wait for them to start posting to submit them.

So, if I'm remembering correctly and this was a feature in this particular mod, it'd be awesome if it returned. If I'm confusing this with a feature that was in another mod, I think it'd be a good feature to include in this one. We get hit with a lot (a lot) of spam registrations and so we like to stay on top of these things.

dis-configured? you need to give more info on the problem/error
Everything was out of place. It was impossible to "navigate" on the forum.

I'll take the risk of installing it again and make a printscreen of the result.

to upgrade from 2.01 to 2.1 I assume I just import xml file and overwrite, is that correct

to upgrade from 2.01 to 2.1 I assume I just import xml file and overwrite, is that correct

I suppose that you got to reupload the folders to your webspace as there is a new function available in the AdminCP, I can't imagine that this will work with only adding code to the product.xml^^ Do so and you are on the safe side. (lol this idiom is the same in English as in German xD)

Install just like you did 2.01 but allow overwrite to the files in folders and the xml file.

Two feature requests:

More flexible "Override" permissions. ie: I'd like to deny my moderators from permanently deleting, but still let them choose what criteria to delete.

And, allow Admins to have full control over the moderator tool regardless of override settings.

I have been running this a couple weeks now and it works very well
The question I have is it normal to be viewing whos online and see that there is 6 or 7 people trying to register quite often
It seems like my board is attracting alot of spammers is there a way to cut it down for instance adding no bots like i would on a web page
If so what can I do ?

After installing SOM ( 2.0.1 ) on my fresh copy of VB 4.2 it worked great until the new upgrade came out.. Upgrading it started to cause functions_newpost.php(532) : eval()'d code on line 26 errors so I simply uninstalled and re-installed it which solved all the problems.. This by far is the best Spam Add-On I have ever seen..

Hey guys,

I am regularly getting emails from people with difficulty registering. They get the following error:

"Registration denied, this forum runs an active policy of not allowing spammers. Please contact us via the "Contact Us" page link if you believe this is in error."

I have IP Check - disabled
Username check - enabled
Email check - enabled

Akismet and StopForumSpam are all enabled

This guy trying to register was going for the username, "Timm". Someone else also had an issue and their username as was "asfii". I'm thinking the dual letters is somehow throwing a trigger on the Username check?

I still get a LOT of spam registerations - probably 10 per day - luckily all with links under post count of 5 get auto moderated so I have a chance to review, but it's still a pain in the ass and didn't exist before.

What are other options to prevent false registrations?

Take a look at the logs and you will see exactly what is triggering the blocked registrations. I recommend to turn off username checks and turn on IP checks for the best results.

Enable email and IP check and disable username check and that will stop the majority of your problem.

when viewing the logs.....

jcgriff2

01-24-2013, 01:19 AM

Clearing the log is not a prerequisite to 2.1.0 upgrade.

"Restart" is tantamount to running glowhostspamomatic.php, i.e., it returns you to the GlowHost - Spam-O-Matic Log Viewer & Log Pruning selection menu.

If you wish to clear the log or remove old log entries, enter the desired number of days & prune the log.

two little suggestions:

2) Allow to see the stats only to some groups. I would like to hide the stats to registered user.

It appears this mod allows any Moderator to access the Spam-o-Matic inline features. Is there some way to change the permissions on this? I want my admins and Super Mods to be able to use this feature, but I do not want regular moderators using it. Some of our moderators only moderate one or two sections of our large forum and I don't like the idea of giving them full control over being able to just delete/ban any user at will.

Is there some setting or switch I'm missing that will allow me to pick and choose which usergroups or mods can use Spam-o-Matic?

Would like to know this as well.

Are you using another spam program to, like spammers suck or vb bad behavior? If you are then SOM will not log rejected spammers. It will log those that pass.
I cant tell you why, I'm no coder. I suspect it's because the other mods are checking spammer info before the registration.
