This is a great mod. Thanks so much!
One suggestion would be to show in the description, documentation, and possibly the dependencies for the install is to have CURL enabled on the server for those users that want to actually be able to check the StopForumSpam database. I knew my server could contact SFS, because I was able to manually ban/submit spambots, and they show up as logged in their database immediately. I was experiencing the exact same errors in my log file, and the spambots were able to register because the mod wasn't able to read the database at SFS just like tomarsyd describes earlier here and then he posted a link to the fix here. Here is a sample of the error in the log in case someone is searching: Code:

What do users who're blocked see when they're denied access?

I just got stuffed by hostgator who said that I sent 3500 emails out in an hour. It seems related to this mod. Is this the mod verifying emails etc. And is the a way I can throttle the emails being sent to about 200 an hour? Why so many will they reduce? these were sent after installation.
|
This mod doesn't send any emails. It makes log entries in the vB admin panel instead.
|
Have you got an email I can send the email to as it talks about removing emails and only was sent when I installed your mod. be greatful if you could take a peak?
|
Sent you a pm
|
First, you should ask HG to give you a copy of the email that was sent so that you know what caused the problem. They should be able to give you a copy. You can paste their communications here yes?
|
Atthough i don't use it, i clicked instal, and i wish there could be another niminate for motm for this mode. Waiting for 2.0, and just wanto to say thank you for the effort and support..

It seems it is spam coming in its hundreds and the emails are the replies to joining. Do you give any support of the mod with the new beta. As Your mod would have saved me from all that spam. I put the problem again below just in case you can help. Thanks a life saving mod!

Not sure what beta you guys are referring to. If it means some older version like vB4.0 beta then its not supported. Beta anything is going to have lots of bugs.

He maybe talking about 4.1.1 beta that's available now.
|
Maybe, but it also looks like he is using some joomla integration from the looks of those logs so the problem could be anywhere.
|
Since Google reCAPTCHA is cracked, this is the best option to block spammers.. If you decide to open a new thread, you have my MOTM vote for sure.. ;) Keep it up dude..

Wouldn't it be nice to have the choice to submit a member to stopforumspam without having to delete or ban them. Moreover how can we submit evidence about them to SFS if we've deleted them already?! :)

2. Just report them to SFS. I try never to delete any posts or users. As I said elsewhere they get moved out of circulation... |

You can edit that usergroups permissions the same as any other banned users group. Does that solve that problem? 2. Just report them to SFS. I try never to delete any posts or users.

Ideally being able to move all posts to a selected forum and the user to a chosen group would be my preference... |
Ok, i first posted this yesterday in the 3.8 Thread of this Mod. Someone told me that support is only given here, so I post it here now.
This is what happend after I installed this Mod for vB3.8 on one of the Boards I am responsible for. https://vborg.vbsupport.ru/showpost....9&postcount=50 Someone able to explain why that happend ? After I deinstalled it, all was fine again. Then I re-installed the old StopForumSpam for 3.x and its ok again. Just that Mod here is what caused issues. |

It doesn't appear the submit to SFS function is working from admincp whether I chose ban or delete option. I haven't tested whether it works when I delete a thread as spam yet because the users I'm banning have zero posts.

Anyways in your case you might try disabling all other mods and keep SOM enabled and see if you still have problems. If not, then re-enable each mod, one by one that you disabled until you see where the conflict is. You can report that in the SOM 3 thread that you originally posted in. Who knows, there may be some updates there some day. |

The idea is to report spammers who have posted actual spam, not arbitrary users who may or may not be guilty of being a spammer. |
Is there any chance that you would add Bad behavior integration to this in the near future?
Now that recaptha is cracked, spam-o-matic is vital spam protection. Bad behavior would block spam bots and content scrapers from the site. |
It's possible, send me the link so I can learn more about it.
|
Will get the the information. Thanks.

This seems like a good thought. I will put it on the list for possible inclusions into version 3.0. Depending on the number of user requests it may be bumped higher on the priority list. This seems like it would need extensive testing because even blocking one legit user can be a bad thing for a forum owner. What concerns me is the delisting process which they say takes about 5 minutes. Most forum posters who take the time to post, are not going to take 5 mins to delist and then time again to re-post I fear. I will follow Bad Behavior and do some more research on it though as its an interesting solution. |
Thanks. I deleted some PMs. Would be an interesting addition.
|
Thank you! 8) This put a hard stop to an hard and fast Russian spam attack.

When you from admincp choose to ban a user and you submit, it should open the ban window.. it does in fact do that, but if you changed the "name" of your modcp then it leads to 404. You might want to make sure it's parsing the $vbulletin->config['Misc']['modcpdir'] instead of just "modcp" :)
|
People who have installed this mod - have you found that it helped cut out the spammers registering on your site?

For kicks, I turned off human verification completely in vBulletin options, and this is the stats from today. Spam-O-Matic Statistics: 165 Spammers Denied Registration 4 got through the filter. Turning human verification on should make those 4 an even lower number. |
