I'm on the latest vb4.

I've been having horrendous server overload issues and after a while I got to the point where I turned off all plugins and any standard vbulletin features that are vaguely intensive, e.g. search. I also disabled new signups completely.

After a couple of days of running fine, I turned search back on. Then after 5 days of it running fine I turned on SpamOmatic and enabled signups. After a few hours the server went nuts (load = 100+) and fell over. I turned the product off again and have been moderating signups manually. Everything has been fine for a few days now, with the server barely breaking a sweat.

Note: I checked that cURL and allow_url_fopen are enable on the server.

Hopefully just coincidence! But I was wondering if anyone else has had load issues with this product enabled? If so, any hints?

After a few more days, I'll be turning it on again to try and "confirm" if it was coincidence or not.

You obviously have something broken in your forum either in this modification or in vB itself. I've been running this mod for some 3 weeks now and load stays at an average of 0.3 in normal hours and 1.1 in peak hours usually becouse there's one or two visitors that get hung up with a lot of redirections becouse some weird post they'r trying to see and my very ugly SEO rewrites (yeah, my fault).

I had the same problem as you before I upgraded to vB4. Loading average for my site was in the 18 seconds and now is in the 4 seconds and it wasn't fault of modifications or plugins... just some bad configuration settings.

Re-check every single setting in options and delete/re-install this mod before activating it again.

Thanks.

I just tried uninstalling the product which went smoothly but in the instructions it says:

I could not find this file - is this part of the readme file up to date or is that file only relevant for older versions of ghsom?

Not relevant to this version.

Coolo. Thanks muchly.

Cool, thanks for sharing. Going to give it a try.

I receive the following error when installing.
I have ver 4.1.3 CMS

query_write('CREATE TABLE IF NOT EXISTS `'.TABLE_PREFIX.'glowhostspamomatic_log`(

Hey I remember that in the older version we had option in the edit user setting at the bottom, so we can ban with this mod the user sending them to the blacklist.

Now in this version I don't see any of those options in the edit user. The problem right now is that in one of my forums I got users like this registering There are like 32 users like that using that IP and all of them pass the security.

I will ban the IP right now, but how to ban the user using this mod? They haven't done any post so I can use moderation tools.

You have to wait until his next update (2.5 I believe) to get the sleepers.
