(installing now)

I would love to allow some trusted forum members to use this.

Is that possible? or do they have to be mods?

Any advice on this appreciated..

Thanks

Could you advise me what i need to change to change the default actions for some of the tick boxes? or even to remove the tick boxes and just have the "Decimator" button on a popup for easy two click banning; i dont wish for half of the boxes to be default. ie send the user an email etc etc ...

Should be a pretty simple template edit. Change the input type to "hidden" and set the value="0", should to the trick.

Does this mod still do a check on when a user registered before executing? Ive noticed that more and more spammers are registering, letting their accounts sit dormant until 30 days are up then coming in and spamming the forum. I see post count is now considered and I didnt see anywhere in the code where join date is still checked but I just glanced through it so I could have missed it.

Thanks

I help pull in the 3.8.4 version you installed MySQL but hit the spam button

I get this

Page Not Found! F38-imagenes-amateur/decimator.php

tell me that I do please

What template/file do I need to edit?

Also, for some weird reason, on my Spam Decimator install, the thanks page does not show. It just shows a blank white page upon clicking on the Decimator button. It does ban the user though and all other motions?

ANy ideas why it is whitescreening?

That's completely off the wall. I would recommend trying to reinstall because it's all contained in one template

digression, couple posts up, the template should be (if I remember correctly) decimator_main, that's the only template for the product.

Anyways, back to what I was saying, the entire thing is contained in that template, so if it got screwed up on install, that might explain it. Only thing I can think of off the top of my head.

Stared at this for a moment, what mod_rewrite extension are you running? If there's an exempt script from rewrite type option in it, add decimator.php into it.

I just found this product since I noticed it was used to kill a spam in one of my threads on vBSEO.com.

The above is a bad idea. Often times the email addresses used by spammers are not real, are temporary, and/or belong to an innocent 3rd party. What is going to happen is that you will be spamming innocent 3rd parties or at the very least increasing your email bounce rates to commonly used ISP's. This can eventually lead to all email from your server being blacklisted by those email providers and others who they share their data with too.

I've been using this for several years and never had a problem. It depends upon how your forum is set up. Mine are set up so that to post the person has to register and activate their registration (activation/verification email) to post, so it's a moot issue. If it's a fake email they won't be able to activate their registration to post anything.

If anything, I'm disappointed that the mod hasn't been updated. I'll really be disappointed if vB 4 kills it. It is a good mod and my moderators *love* it.
