Is there any way to see if this is working properly once it is installed? I've installed it last night but it hasn't slowed down the influx of website/signature spammer signups at all. I'm still getting dozens of spammer signups every day. I've tried practically everything and nothing seems to help.

I've still got Human Verification turned on in addition to this... does it need to be disabled by any chance? I'm using Spam-O-Matic in conjunction with KeyCAPTCHA but neither seem to make any difference as far as spammer signups go. :(

Its not in beta, its the same as stopforumspam mod + additional features. Both mods are unsupported in the 3.x series of vB.

Regarding the adsense code, that is not part of this mod, that comes from stopforumspam or from mods downloaded somewhere else besides vbulletin.org.

Yes, take a look at the logs and see if they have any information in them.

If any of you are running version 4 of vBulleting, try the 4.x version of this mod as development is still active and supported.

However SorentoUltimate has provided me with some source code for an update which is a port of the SOM 4.x, which I am still looking over and will probably release in this thread once analysis is complete.

There is no ETA on that but I expect in a couple weeks maximum, probably less.

Ah, didn't realize there are logs. Yep, seems to be working, over 350 registrations barred in a day - but most of them are the same spammer trying to sign up over and over. However, 20 spam signups still came through in a day. :/

There are a lot of us still on 3.x so please don't drop the support for v3 of this mod - thanks!

A question... since a lot of sig spammers still get through on my boards and I want to report them all to SFS, what do I need to edit to make the ACP profile area SOM window have the "Remove user" ticked by default as well as "Remove All Posts" and "Submit to StopForumSpam.com"? That way I can just hit the Submit button and save 3 clicks for every spammer, which would save me a lot of time.

By the way, I see where the AdSense code is coming from... it appears on user.php?do=kill where an interim "Add a Spammer" page from StopForumSpam appears after a spammer is submitted. There is a 468x60 AdSense ad on top of that page.

I assume GlowHost could contact SFS and explain the issue and have them make a separate page with no ad code for plugin-submitted spammers?

I have a question for people using this: I started using this a couple weeks ago but today I checked the Spam-O-Matic log and I see lots of blocked registrations which is good, but I see "submitted to SFS" log entries for only 6 members when I know I used the box in ACP on the member profile page to ban and submit a lot more than 6. Looking at SFS in "my spammers" also shows I've only submitted 6. Anyone else having a problem like this?

First of all, thank you for this plugin.

Is there any way to mass-submit and delete users? I have 11,000+ users than I'm confident about them being spammers (using same value in a custom profile field), but I can't find an option to mass-erase them and report them.

Thanks.

I want to do the same :up:

Is there a way to use TypePad Anti-Spam instead of Akismet?

I'm answering my own question (I realize support is only given in the 4.0 thread).

Anyway, in a couple of places in includes/functions_ghsom.php there's some code like this:


but (on our server anyway) it was stopping the sessions from working, so if you tried to use the functions on the user edit page (in the ACP) nothing would happen (it would go to the ban or delete user page but wouldn't submit to SFS or delete threads). So I edited the code (in two places) to look like this:


the @ stops it from displaying an error that happens because the headers *have* been sent, but it seems to work in spite of that error.

BTW, I also commented out the part that deletes threads because the comment says "this is definitely ALPHA code" and I'm not sure if that's the right way to delete threads and posts.
