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

I am experiencing the same problem that some new members of our board are being rejected as spammers on their IP's, which are are transparent proxies or NAT gateways for thousands (in our case of South African) DSL clients.

Disabling the IP check is the solution for now but this is not ideal.

Is there a way of adding a whitelist unique to our own boards or have GlowHost developers considered an update in this regard?
That way we could add our own whitelist of IP's/networks to minimize false positives from our boards perspective.

If this has been discussed in more detail elsewhere please pass me a link.

Dear Glowhost,

Can I have some feedback to the above please (posted on the 27th June)?
The IP check only catches false positives for us since the IP's recorded with StopForumSpam are typically all overloaded (Proxies, NAT gateways).

I have set the StopForumSPam: Remote Expiry to a lower number yet the plugin still rejects IP's with date&time stamped all before this number - so the expiry age does not seem to work.:confused:

Please advise?

In all other aspect the plugin works really well...

Can someone explain what it means when in the statistics & logs it says "Passed StopForumSpam checks. Sent to vBulletin Registration System". When I click the name these users are in the "users awaiting email confirmation" User group.
I can tell that they are spammers by the way the required fields are filled out.

Can I submitt the user to spam o matic without them posting?

The short answer is no - only submit a confirmed SPAMMER User details - with good posting evidence (URL's and/or advert details).
Ditto for perceived hacking attempts

There is no IP whitelist function. I will add it to the list of suggestions but you can certainly have this coded on your own in the meantime.

Did you check the description next to that setting? It should pretty much tell you what 0 means in relation to real numbers.

Look above your post...I mean literally, one post. See the link in that post? Click that and you will find your answer.

thanks.

That's how it is set by default. Users do not have access.

Lets say I ban a user for 30 days (suspension)

Will Easy clean-up delete all of his posts and report him to stop spam database?

Obviously I do not want this to happen.

I just want to make sure that if I have Easy clean up on and I ban (suspend) a user -- all of his posts are not deleted and the poor guy reported as a spammer to the database

It only does what you tell it to. Look at the page you are going to submit and check or uncheck the options that you want.
