you would have to edit the plugins

I have just installed this on my own personal forum which only has a few members and very low visibility, traffic, but I'm also moderating another forum where this is installed and it is just not working to stop the spammers. Somehow, spammers are signing up, and posting threads with dozens of links even on their first post. If it's a bot, then it is even circumventing vBulletin's built-in human interaction precautions to signup.

I'm having the same issue. Spammers are posting images and links in their first post. Anyone know of a way around this?

if you guys know , please let me know. i have the same issues

here is what i did, i added that forced intro on new registers and so far so good

Just ran some tests. It looks like the original mod works, but it doesn't allow automatic RSS feed updates.

If you update the mod using the TitanJeff hack, the mod no longer functions (massive spamming).

Is there anything out there that prevents spam but still allows RSS importing?

Thanks,
Joe

Nice, Thanks!

This is a great mod however,....
I installed this on a new site and then tried to add some content that has an image in it. The full url to the image is required and it won't let me do that. Is there no permissions for the administrator to by-pass this?

Thanks.

Change the post count on the account in User Manager.

RSS feed hack

I'm not sure if this is 100% fool-proof, but it's what seems to work so far ...

I changed the code in the plugin to add so, the original looks like this and the new code looks like this ... this variables are used by manually running a cron and by the cron running on it's own (which is what runs the RSS feeds). It's the best I can come up with without spending a lot of time on it.

.... i've added an attachment with this change ... no idea if it's perfect or not ... it's been successful so far.
