Thanks for explanations pedigree. If it's possible to add this feature in the future, this mod will be the most efficient weapon against spammers.

Keep up the good work.

Modification Request:

Perhaps a way to sort the columns of the log, as well as a way to show the top 10 blocked IPs / email addresses / user names?

Also, a way to graph some of the stats, and search within a time frame? I'm guessing there's functions already built in that do these, based upon the standard vB logs.

Wired, way ahead of you there, well, a bit.

I was thinking about the table structure for graphing the statistics just last night. I did this for an intranet helpdesk system at work and the management loved the graphing more than the 8 months actual work, typical :)

I hope to have both a html table and a GD bar graph. Im also going to add support for GeoIP to report by country and much better sorting in the logs system. Ill certainly add a date search timeframe to the logs as well.

Ill sneak in an option to PM users each day with a breakdown on the blocked/logs registrations as well.

Support for GeoIP to ban based on Geological Data would be great, too.

One stop solution against Spammers :)

That can be done as a comma delimited list of country codes

eg

cn,kr,br,ar,ru

Sounds great :)

Don't forget about proxies...

Most of our spammers either don't find a proxy (open ones are getting rare) or didn't use one.

installed / tested. awesome mod, exactly what i was looking for when searching for spam. kudos to you.

note: to all of those complaining, it is almost impossible to stop -every- spammer with one simple program/script. this just adds on to the help of ridding the annoyance.

I can put RBL lookups in there as well but I think there is already a mod for that.

The GeoIP has some anonymous proxies, which I can use to add additional tests. If someone has the GeoIP full version and would like to test the mod against that, then even better.

Maybe I could add functionality to check new posts against the surbl website RBL as well... maybe after v0.7
