Just wanted to say a big thanks for this great hack. It's stopped many spammers on my board.

SkyCatcher, sorry to hear about what happened with your host. I hope you get it sorted out.
I know you don't have time to work on this at the moment, but maybe for someone else who is using the hack, I read through this entire thread, but I wasn't able to find out if there was a way to create a white list or exceptions list for sites that would not be blocked/flagged by the hack.

Thanks!

Installed i love this, this is the best stop spam i have seen, no link no spam ... :)

excellent mod - will help with bots registering along with the human spammers - love it :) works great

Great hack, but i had to uninstall it, there is a huge error!!
When someone registered to my forums, he got an error a huge headers error, (you know, that headers have already been sent bla bla bla) and in the top of the screen there was something about class_dm_user.php, and it gave an error, said that strpos has an empty delimeter, and said the error is on line two thousand and something, i went there and it was a hook call for private_insertpm_process, so the plugin in private_insertpm_process has an error in it. i think it clashes with the fact that my forums sent a PM to new registered users. I'm looking forward to a fix, because other than that your hack works great :)

i have to remove this as well because a new member that has posted way over the 5 posts is et it to can still not post links

Seems to be a great hack, but is it possible to set the postings as need to be moderated instead of replacing his text ?

does this work ok with the latest version of vBulletin ?

And will this hack be updated soon? Seems like a great hack against spammers, but hasnt been updated since december 2006.

This would be an outstanding Hack if that was implemented. Why just keep the post out there for everyone to see? It adds the same amount of Moderating needed to be done.

Maybe someone else could take-over and modify this hack...since the original guy hasnt been on for awhile ?

There are other modifications already available which put posts into moderation queue. The entire purpose of this mod is to reduce the load on moderators.

Moreover, when posts are put into moderation queue the poster gets confused and posts again and again. I have faced this problem in the past.

Well besides that, this Mod is out of date. Alot of its functions dont even work anymore. I tried being a spammer on my forums and was still able to PM other members and edit my post after the automated spam message was displayed.

well, after they did it 5 straight times and noticed that it wont post, they will go away. Better for me , then displaying a message that will confuse most regular members.

Dont get me wrong, I think this is a great Mod.. I just wish it would be taken care of more often.
