How are you guys dealing with members contacting you saying they're not spammers but can't sign in? Obviously they were banned elsewhere, but I'm afraid I'm missing out on many members because of this.

Ive been using this wonderfully with one of my VB 3.8.2 forum. But facing lot of spammers still finding ther way in my other VB 4.1.10. Am I missing out something? Please help..

I noticed the same thing beginning last week.
I installed spam-o-matic thinking something was wrong.
Same results with that.

It just seems that these new registrants are not listed in the sfs database yet.

If you're running VB4, what you're missing is Spam-o-Matic. Works great, adds an excellent ban and report button to the forum, and is currently supported.

I definitely would (and do) choose it over this one if you're running VB4.

i'M getting this error:

CREATE TABLE IF NOT EXISTS `vbstopforumspam` (
APIKey VARCHAR( 255 ) NOT NULL ,
PRIMARY KEY ( APIKey )
) TYPE=MyISAM;;

Nevermind i got it working.

Does this plugin work with VB version 4.1.9 ?

Hi guys,

I created a plugin for this product in order to manually report a user from inside the admin control panel, while seeing the user's full profile/editing screen.

I needed that in order to manually report offenders that were blocked by the Multiple Account Registration Prevention product and automatically moved to the "Users Awaiting Moderation" group.

I hope this little add-on is useful for other user who need a reporting tool inside the admin CP.

PS: You need to import this file as a PLUGIN and not as a product.

Thanks.

Nice addition... instead of just deleting the users that make it through the filters, we can add them. Excellent.

Now, all we need is a way to whitelist those users who are trying to register and can't because their preferred username is on a blacklist somewhere keeping them out.

This blocks too many legitimate users. Unfortunate. The User Agent block works the best by blocking IE6 and below and well as other bot spiders.

Only if you have 'User Names' enabled. Otherwise, it denies registrations from people on the SFS spammers database - what is there not to like?
