Easy fix: Disable Facebook connect. It causes more problems than it's worth anyway. As far as I'm concerned. it's just a backdoor waiting for hackers.

Thanks very useful Mod I installed and i LOVE IT :)

In case anyone is still having this problem I have a bit of code that will prevent quite a few invalid submission problems. Lore Master made a great contribution with his code suggestion but it needs to go one step further to deal with all the strange things being submitted to the Stop Forum Spam database. For instance, it isn't overly helpful to the community for a slew of 'Unregistered' submissions to be posted on the website. They are invalid and never should have been submitted.

To stop this from happening we need to do more than check for empty username and email fields. So instead we need to let vBulletin handle the invalid form data and only run the vbStopForumSpam check if a valid registration is submitted. The forum software checks to make sure all the required fields are filled in, that the email address submitted is valid, and various other things, so we don't need to repeat work that has already been done.

To accomplish this input the following code into the 'register_addmember_process' hook for the vbStopForumSpam plugin and replace what is already there.


This allows vB to operate like it normally would when handling registration attempts and only passes data on to the vbStopForumSpam mod if the registration form has been filled out properly. This clears a lot of nonsense from the log records and it saves lookup time and server resources. It might even save the Stop Forum Spam website a little bandwidth.

Finally, this helps to reduce any accidental blocking of legitimate users from registering on your site, either locally or through being mistakenly added to the Stop Forum Spam database, which lists email as well as IP addresses. Remember that virtually none of the people added by mistake will know to come to the Stop Forum Spam website to get their information removed so they can register on a forum they want to join.

How do you whitelist a person when they are not spam? I don't see this in the file docs.

Thanks!

Just get their details and create the account manually. A bit of a faff but so rare in my experience that it is not a problem.

Some of my users are trying to register via facebook and get this error?

I was getting more than a few users via email stating they were marked as a spammer and did manually register them but I don't have time to do this always so I went with the other mod like this - https://vborg.vbsupport.ru/showthread.php?t=239307 This is a great add-on but a headache right now.

Thank you for this excellent mod :D

Absolutely fantastic, a must for every serious forum admin.
Helped me to get rid of some of the "bad guys".

I really don't get it. Why wouldn't the programmer for this awesome mod. at least allow one to whitelite an ip? This is such a good mod and is really missing this vital option.

Has anyone noticed this on their vbstopforumspam logs?

This is the user and email:
#file_links[C:\Documents and Settings\Administrator\Desktop\Base\MarlboroKey\Ma rlboroKey.txt,3,S] [url=#file_links[C:\Documents and Settings\Administrator\Desktop\Base\MarlboroURL\Ma rlboroUrl.txt,1,L]]#file_links[C:\Documents and Settings\Administrator\De

It allowed registration for a couple of them and blocked a couple based on ip. I'm not showing any new users however..
