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

uninstalled.

over 3,000 blocked over past week - only 3 people were able to register.

many of my friends could not register due to being flagged as a spammer.

only stats that showed were blocked registrations.

vB 4.2.0 PL 2

went with a different product to cure my spammer block requirements

Did you have check user name enabled? What system did you switch to?

That was what was causing the issue. When I disabled that and only had IP Address and e-mail address enabled it worked perfect.

I have the VSA Advanced Registration mod and I love it. It does work for keeping bots at bay, but it doesn't work for blocking IP addresses, and e-mails.

I'm not sure about the keyCAPTCA, as I don't use it. However, the stats for GlowHost only shows, "Spammers Denied Registration" and "Number of spam posts moderated" if that feature is turned on.

You may not have everything set up correctly. There are a lot of little things to do as in making a new usergroup for new members, setting the amount of posts that are moderated, etc. I set the moderated post to 2 because it moderates everything. In other words the first two posts are moderated even if they are legitimate posts. Kind of a pain, and I may set it to just the first post. Normally the first post is all you need to know if they are a spammer or not. You of course have to turn off links, signatures, etc on the new member, but this gives you the opportunity to look at the user profile or have the mods look at the profile for you. Setting up e-mails about new registrations to the mods takes care of this for you.

To make this work with the existing StopForumSpam API key from Spam-O-Matic, I changed the following in your code:

Just replacing vbstopforumspam_apikey with glowhostspamomatic_apikey. That seems to work.

Thanks! This helps out my moderators quite a lot.

Interesting! Open your PhpMyAdmin and check the database to make sure you have the following tables:

glowhostspamomatic_log
glowhostspamomatic_remotecache
glowhostspamomatic_stats

There may have been an error in the upload of the mod.

Checked the databases and there wasn't any of those tables. How do I get them?

That is really strange. I haven't run across that before. Maybe someone with a little more knowledge can help you out on that.

You say that they are not showing in the AdminCP. You mean in the log files are not showing, or the information is not showing on the WGO area?
