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

I love people that say "Do it my way". The reason is because some registrations stand out as being spam, and I want to stop them from posting anything. Some spammers are clever and will post a few "real" messages and then insert some spam signature. Please do not tell me to get this add-on and that add-on. I simply want all registrations to be sent to me for approval AFTER spam-o-matic has blocked the obvious ones.

Your smarmy comments are sure to inspire all of us to come to your aid...

That said, at no point did I mention any additional addons.

Antique Swords,
Turn off the moderation option in SOM.
Go to User Registration Options and find a line that says, "Email Address to Notify About New Members" and place your e-mail in there.

You did not come to my aid. You made a curt response. And you inspired me to respond as I did.

Hi
Thanks. But isn't this only turning off post moderation functions? I have looked and it seems so. I presume you mean Auto-Moderation: Enable? If so, all of the things it turns off are to do with posting, not registration.

I also emailed the developer, and it appears (I think, from what he said), that it is not possible to do what I want. So I guess I must moderate the posts of Newbies, which is not what I want to do.

But thanks to those that tried to help.

Yes, thank you. I have been through this on the forums on vb.org and filed a help ticket with vb.com. So I have done everything. It simply is not possible to have Spam-o-Matic moderate registrations to remove the known spam and then have the remainder come to me for final approval.

Because I have set up various mandatory questions (spammers always answer off topic or badly), country flags (spammers tend to select no fag / the default flag), etc., I easily see the spammers that get past Spam-o-Matic. I MUCH prefer this.

Good. Then it's settled. SOM won't do what you want. Let's all move past this now.

@Antique-Swords

I agree with Syxguns, BUT you also need to tick 'yes' to Moderate New Members and tick 'no' to Verify Email address in User Registration Options.

You will receive an email for new registrations and you can validate the new registration from the ACP and send a manual approval or denial letter to new registered member awaiting approval.
Also go into usergroups/Users Awaiting Moderation and setup the group to allow user his/her permissions until approved by you.

I've used this setup before with SOM and it works fine. SOM would have to be recoded in order to do what you want it to do, so this is the best work around fix for what you are wanting to do.

Good luck...

Can you not just place approved members to the "awaiting moderation" group instead?
