Hey friends, I really need a temporary solution for the admincp report a user... I used to have it on one of my forums but now I can't find it and I looked through like every single page on this thread (quickly glancing for attachments and/or code)... Please assist :)

Thanks

I have this, actually. They'll go into threads and either copy everything that another post a long time ago said... OR... they'll read the subject and put their 2 cents into it

First off thanks for a great product, after using it a few weeks we have so far caught all spammers trying to register with the site, not counting unknown sleepers.

To those saying it's letting through more than it's stopping you are clearly doing something wrong or have some messed up settings.

Now I have 2 questions:

#1. I have it set via VB settings that all new users need to be approved by an admin, I have triple checked this setting and for some reason when people register and pass the SoM registration check they are getting auto approved without an admin even approving there application. Not a huge deal but I like to double check and make sure it doesn't look like a sleeper account before they get through. I'm the only admin on the site so I know it's not another admin approving them.

How can we set it so that SoM lets them register but the admin or mod still needs to approve the registration before they go live?

#2. It's great that this system catches so many spammers but having to go and manually add each rejected application to SFS's database it very taxing, especially when we are talking about amount of info I am talking about. Are there any plans to add check boxes or a 1 click option to submit all blocked/stopped spam account into to SFS's database in the future? It would be really great because having to sit down and submit 1 by 1 each spam account's into takes forever when you are dealing with hundreds of stopped spam account info each week, I think my CTRL-V key is breaking from so much copy and pasting lol.

Thanks for all you great work and looking forwards to more innovations in the future, maybe checking PM's and Forum Posts for spam material would be cool to. Have a great week.

Obviously!

Hence the reason why I'm here asking for help/advice.

Maybe someone has had the same issue and worked out what was wrong and WHY... and willing to post the answer for the rest of us having this issue.

Hi guys.

This month i got many registered user in my board with @yahoo.com email.

like surgenjg84@yahoo.com

At least 3-5 each day.

Not only registering.....but they r validating the email.

How to solve this? the mod is not blocking them.

please can the author update this mod it is not working correctly its causing my members to show incorrect posts counts i have uninstalled until an update is done thnak you

Uninstalled. Rejects almost all applicants to my site regardless of settings.

Not working with vB 4.14

I noticed a massive influx of spam registrations when I upgraded from 3.8 to 4.1.3 last week and this has banished them all :D

It's because most attempted registrations are spammers. I've tested this by manually registering using different IP's, different email hosts etc. and it's allowed all registrations. Every registration it has blocked for me, are listed as spammers in the No Forum Spam database.

Working fine here.

I hope that's not for everyone, although I do hope you get it all worked out and SOM working for you again.

I'm thinking I might have to uninstall the SOM, do the update to vB 4.1.4, then reinstall the SOM and then keep my fingers crossed it all works like it's meant to. *sigh*
