Installed this mod on my site and am very impressed at the results.

Went from 20 (or more) spammers per day down to zero - and yet authentic member applications are still getting through! Love it

I already IP　Banned entire of china to　prevent spam but russian, german, polish spam bots were still getting through and as i have no intention of IP Banning those countries as they have A large amount of legitimate users this was the perfect solution. The delay is set to　20　Seconds and I have added a message to notify legitimate members that they must stay on the page for over 20 seconds if they wish to register (as it is to fight spam bots), and so far it's taken care of the bots wonderfully, as well as letting the legitimate ones through.

Overall, this is absolutely fantastic and has been a great help, props.

Doesn't work for me. I don't receive any 'no permission page'...tried 25,30 and 60 sec

I can't think of why that would happen. Make sure "Enable Spambot Stopper" is set to Yes in the options. If it still doesn't work, maybe there's a conflict with another mod. Do you have any other mods installed that have to do with registration? Do you have a custom registration page or anything like that?

Yes it is set to yes. I have dbtech advanced registration but still doesn't work if i disable that mod

Please specify how to add thread ID so i can have it post in a thread, is it a specific number or the thread url.Thanx

Can you show me an example.

Edit: I got it working.............Thanx

Hi kh99,
Just wondering if you ever had a chance to look at this problem
or if you were able to duplicate it?

The above fix works (setting Automoderation count to 1)
but ofc this lets the spammers post that first URL without moderation

Would like to reenable posting the Registrations to a thread again
but having Spam-O-Matic:AutoModeration URL count set to 0 is of more importance

Thanks

To be honest I didn't understand that you still had a problem with that. Sorry it's been so long but I'm having trouble getting back to this. In fact, there's an issue with facebook registration that I said I'd try to fix immediately and that was over a week ago. But I'll try to look at that and your problem tomorrow.

Yes - that's why reposted it
figured my problem did look like it was solved from my original response.

Thanks much!

Edit again: I believe the problem is in the spam-o-matic product, and that is should not apply the rules if the post 'is_automated' is set at all. As it is, it only skips the rules if 'is_auotmated' is set to 'rss', but I see places in the vbulletin code that just set it to true. This probably doesn't cause a problem normally because it's rare for one of those situations to occur when the current user has fewer than 6 posts (or isn't an admin or mod). I've sent a PM to the spam-o-matic author, so hopefully we'll get it worked out one way or another.

Anyway, if you want to try a temporary fix, you could try going to Plugins & Products > Plugin Manager, and find the section "Product: Spambot Stopper", and edit the "Post to Thread" plugin. Find this line:

and change 'sbs' to 'rss'.
