Installed. No problems so far on 3.8.6

The past few days, there's been an excessive number of spammers and I've used Stop Forum Spam to verify before banning. Usually the spammers are manageable with only a handful month to month, but I had to ban 20 accounts in the past day, so it's getting a little out of hand.

I ran a test and tried to register with a spammer's email address and it was promptly blocked. Sure hope it continues to work against most of the bots.

We've been getting slammed, too. So bad that I came back here to find that no solution was offered to the problem that I posted.

I installed ZB Block, and within minutes, baddies were being blocked. Bingo. Perfect. Thanks for making me aware of a perfect solution.

Good call - you wouldn't want to alienate legit sign-ups.

I posted this in the 3.6 area, but didn't get a response, so I'll try here...

Your LINK should (most probably) be:

www.politicalwrinkles.com/forums/admincp/vbstopforumspam.php

Assuming your forum is installed in a /forums Directory off the public_html directory on your server.

Thanks for the try, but that doesn't appear to be it...

As you can see, both the Moderator Log above and the Schedule Log below are in the same directory as the vBStopForumSpam log, so that can't be it....

I do notice the "?do=choose" at the end of the Mod log and Sched log addresses...That's not at the end of the address for vbstopforumspam.php...I don't know if that plays into it...:confused:

Been 5 days...tryin' again...

Anyone? :confused:

This is a great mod - has vastly reduced the spammers I have on my forum.

Great Mod! - is there anything similar that can run against the current user database?
