vb.org Archive - Anti-Spam Options - [GlowHost] Spam-O-Matic

a couple of users who were denied registration contact me manually. and i create accounts for them manually.

i am not sure how many genuine users i might have lost because of their IPs. but the lessening of spam is a major relief.

Can it be that some real users are getting their registration denied or is my forum a spamming target? I'm still getting real users to register in my forum without any problem though.

When I was on 3.8, I very rarely got any spam registrations (and that's with me leaving the forum unattended for months). Within hours of installing 4.1.4 I had been inundated with spam registrations. I'm assuming that the spammers target regularly upgraded forums, as they assume they will be active.

Ive had a wave of spammers who register, post some vaguely "normal" posts (although they tend to bump old threads so I can normally spot them) and then come back a week later to edit in the spam links.

Anyone got any thoughts on how to use Spam-o-matic to counter this kind of spam? I guess I can ban user editing but that's not great for other real users.

Any ideas?

personally i would not like users to edit their posts after like an hour or so. a week? that is too much time. especially for freshly registered users.

i understand thread starters would benefit if they are allowed to edit their first posts. but this functionality can be reserved for regular folks who have more than 10/20 posts.

just my 2 cents!

I'm getting users posts quarantined with no bad words... I think they may be editing their posts for spelling mistakes... not sure anyone else having an issue?

Most are fine but there are some getting clouted and cannot see why?
