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

Absolutely brilliant, what a saviour to say the least!

I had been battling spammers on a daily basis lately, I tried all sorted.

In a space of about just over 36 hours
406 Spammers Denied Registration
3 Spammy Posts Automatically Moderated

Results speak for themselves.

One question I do have, I have perhaps 3 or so users which I know are spammers, I don't want to go banning them since it doesn't help anyone, is there a way of reporting them? Share the love I say.

Cheers

I just installed this and realised that the "Spam-O-Matic" option only appears in thread view. Is it possible to have it appear also in forum view or new posts view so that we can settle many spam threads in one shot; rather than go into each thread to do it?

Well first of all thanks for this addon.

so here my problems :
1) No Settings under Usergroups (Akismet)
2) No Chance to send the data from Useredit to Antispam like the Readme shows.
Snipp -

4.1.
A) Located @ Edit user profile
B) If you have you API keys (set in settings) -
you will be able
to submit user details to StopForumSpam.com and Akismet databases simply
Delete a post as spam and ban the user to submit them if you have these
options enabled.

--Snap
This settings not there

Any ideas ? I have the api keys for both antispam sites, and have disabled the VB Akismet Addon

I believe that option was removed. Go to thread(s) you want to report and click on moderation tools. You should be able to do all from there.

@alibass
Well , the option to check over Akismet in Usergroups is also missing . So all the settings are gone away ? Hmm, thats confuse, because all these things are in the readme.

Hopefully the author answers ....

@ Alibass - Thats BS. Some human spammers dont bother posting and just leave some crappy info on their profiles. We were able to report them before in the past version and we should be able to do that now. But that feature got removed. A very stupid decision to remove such a feature. Feature wise The 1.x version was superior to this is every way. I wish the author ever updated this or I hope some one else comes up with a better Anti Spam solution than this.
