Exactly. If someone hasn't spammed, why would you submit them to a spam database? If people start doing that, the spam database becomes useless.

90% of the spammers that I get don't get the chance to post because they don't seem to get past the advanced forum rules check that I have. This is site wide and no one can post until they accepted these rules.

This option would be userful to me, but I have not pushed for it because I can see how it could be abused.

I personally disagree. And I think this states the obvious:

Quote:

xxx.xxx.xxx.xx - Used by 17 users.
Users: loans_online_bc07, payday_UK0420, same_day_loanb07, credit_check_ loansA30, payday_loans_bb07, Instant_AA24, cash_loansCAS23, online_insurance419, payday_loans0419, payday_UK_AA30, cash_loansAA03, cash_loansAA24, Bad-credit-loans23, advance_onlineAA03, instant_onlineAA03, loans_online0420, cash_loansBB24

And I have over 100 more accounts like these. Plus their profile information (URL, etc) are showing all kinds of advertisement links.

With other anti-spam methods I installed, they can't even post. But that doesn't stop them in registering. Spam-O-Matic, or in this case stopforumspam isn't 100% bot-stop-proof and I'd like to submit them to stopforumspam (the easy way) but I can't because they haven't posted.

i think it will be great if "when submit post to spam o matic", it have an option to give the Infraction point, not permanent ban.

I hope you do realize that the Spam-O-matic is meant to perm ban bots. Why would you want to Infract those AI? (Artificial Intelligence). Bots are not real humans, they are programmed to spam (usually advertisements) on other people's forums. There is no point in Infracting bot users.. They are meant to be banned and or removed entirely.

I do agree that sometimes the email address or member name is a giveaway that might warrant submitting to the database.

Try this...

1. Admin CP >> Plugins & Products >> Add New Plugin

2. Product = vBulletin

Hook Location = useradmin_edit_column1

Title = Submit to StopForumSpam.com

Execution Order = 5

Plugin PHP Code:

PHP Code:


		
			
if (!is_member_of($user['usergroupid'], 6)) // we dont want to ban our admin account now do we

        { 

            print_table_break('', $INNERTABLEWIDTH);

            print_table_header("Submit to StopForumSpam");

            if ($vbulletin->options["vbstopforumspam_apikey"])

                print_label_row('Submit these details to www.stopforumspam.com ban list<BR><table><tr><td>Username:</td><td><input type="text" name="username"  size="30" value="'. 

$user['username'] . '"></td></tr><tr><td>Email:</td><td><input type="text" name="email"  size="30" value="' . $user['email'] . '"></td></tr><tr><td>IP:&nbsp;</td><td><input type="text" name="ip_addr"  value="' .$user['ipaddress'] . '"></td></tr></table><input name="api_key" type="hidden" value="' . $vbulletin->options['vbstopforumspam_apikey'] .    '"><input onclick="this.form.action=\'http://www.stopforumspam.com/add.php\';this.form.submit()"  type="button" class="button" value="' . $vbphrase['submit'] . '"/>');



            else

                print_label_row('You need an API key from www.stopforumspam.com before you can submit to the database' ,'');    

        }

Plugin is active = Yes

3. Save

Thanks for that, will give it a try, I have 30+ spam registrations a week, below is a typical selection. Everyone of those is a bot of some sort and whilst the majority don't post, they are still spam.

It would be really nice to have a form for new users like the one shown in the image, but with tick boxes on the right for banning and submitting to the database.

I've done some searches in this post, but so far I can't find the answer ...

I'd like our moderators to be able to see the Spam-o-Matic logs so they can check if they get an email from someone claiming they were rejected at registration as being a spammer.

Currently, they don't see those logs, so is there a way of turning on an option so they can?

Thanks for any feedback ... :)

Regards,
Doug
