It will do both thats how I currently have it set up.
"ForumID For RBL reports
The forum you want RBL reports to be posted into. " In this option field put your forum id where you would like the post to go.

I just recieved four of these identical PMs at the same time (2:25 pm), but it still hasn't posted anything in the special forum.
I copied and pasted the forum url from the browzer bar into the forum ID box.
I have all the permissions set so that it can access the hidden forum and make posts and threads.
I will have to re-check everything to see if I missed something.

Hmmmmm...I usually don't post images of my Admin CP, but in this case it may help.

I have mine setup to post in the moderator's private forum (24), as well as send me (The Finman) a PM.

I would check yours against mine, as that would probably be the easiest way to find the problem.

Let me know if that helps. :)

I see it.
You have the forum number (24) where I pasted the entire url into the box.
I'le just put in the forum number and see if it works.
By the way, it just killed another spammer a few minutes ago.
This program is great!

It works now, thanks Finman.:)
It blocked this spammer this morning.

It blocked it four times in a row with each registration attempt being one minute apart.
I assume this was an automated spam bot?

If you're getting multiple hits that close together I'm going to assume you're getting hit by a spam bot as I haven't had too many other reports of multiple hits like that... I've looked through the code and can't see anything that would cause it.

Glad to hear its helping out!!!

Yes, that is what it was.

I don't get too many of those, but I have had a couple try three times in under a minute.

This hack addresses the unique ability of bots to try and register using abilities beyond that of an ordinary human.

I've downloaded it, but I haven't had a chance to install it. If any of you try it before I do. I would very much like some feedback on it. :)

Sincerely

I'm using

proxies.dnsbl.sorbs.net
tor.ahbl.org
ircbl.ahbl.org
opm.tornevall.org
list.dsbl.org
sbl-xbl.spamhaus.org

Is this overkill?

I'm primarily concerned with people who use fake IPs and such.

I have all of these on my list.

sbl-xbl.spamhaus.org
http.dnsbl.sorbs.net
socks.dnsbl.sorbs.net
misc.dnsbl.sorbs.net
proxies.dnsbl.sorbs.net
http://www.ahbl.org
dnsbl.ahbl.org
tor.ahbl.org
ircbl.ahbl.org
opm.tornevall.org
list.dsbl.org

So far the only one that has blocked them is sbl-xbl.spamhaus.org.
Whether or not it is over kill to have this many on the list, it doesn't hurt to have a big arsenel.
Block this IP number ---> IP# 209.67.219.98

Blocking this IP blocks all of these proxy servers.

I completly ruined a forum invasion with this one.:)

That's because as soon as it matches one it stops processing ... if you move another one to the top of the list you'll see it show up in the reports.

I'll add that to the next release.
