I understand, the solution Colin provided worked. Thanks for your reply and good luck with your project you are working on :)

Would there be a way to make this only apply to users who signed up in the last x time, or who have less than x posts? Maybe inline code in the template change, so the button only shows up for some users? I can't tell if it's a bug or one of my mods getting drunk but a couple of regular users have been decimated lately and I don't want it happening again.

The decimator definitely works, though! :D

Alright, shouldn't be too difficult of a template change here...let's see...

Add something to the effect of...

Where X is the number of posts you want to disallow decimating at and the comment is the general template edit for Decimator...

-RD

Seems to work! This should prevent anyone but newbs and spammers from being accidentally decimated. I set it to 15 based on our average spammer's habits. Most of them never get near that far before we catch them.

Thanks!

Love this mod will it work in 3.6?

Haven't tested it, but it should theoretically work with 3.6 assuming none of the functions it calls have changed...

I should know here within the next couple weeks for certain though. Still need to upgrade my development environment to 3.6.

thanks alot but does it work with vb 3.5.4 because i have tried some hacks for old versions and they work with vb3.5.4

Yep, I just never updated the vB version...should work flawlessly with 3.5.4 (at least it does on my install).

I've been using it with vB 3.5.x and 3.6 since the first releases (of both vB and SpamDecimator) and it works flawlessly, it actually seems to work better on 3.6 than on 3.5, but that might also just be the removal of quite some extensions I was using.

The main thing that is still missing is an undo feature, I'm still hoping that will be added anytime soon ;)

thanks alot i will try it in my vb
