I don't know how to answer this question. I read at the bottom of my forum that there were 208 users online, I clicked on the highlighted in red, 208 users online, and was directed to the page that reflects the IP address for each user. All were my IP address.

Also, I could see that each forum had a number of people reading posts.
What
You say to turn off s-o-m, to see what happens, what would I then do to protect myself from spammers on my site at that time.
In plugging and products disable. You are only testing, so you can enable it again. Now select "who's online" and see if they all show the same IP. They shouldn't all be the same, although you may see a few with the same.

What mod did you use to view last time? I'm on a cell phone so I can't view the actual forum. I turned that feature off. I also do not use taptalk or forum runner. Mods do not work with them.

Edit: got online and saw the forum. I see what you are saying you clicked that was in red. That should take you to the "who's online" area. Right now you have nobody viewing the forum, so wait until you have 5 to 20 people viewing the site.

I see now what you are talking about. I will disable the s-o-m and see what happens.

Hello

Automoderation is set to some usergroup when users are moved afte email check. Automoderations is set to prevent post and we have a lont list of bad words.

However anybody can bypass the automoderations by writing any words.

This plugin was working fine until suddenyl stopped one week ago just after set some new parameters.

But it's strange that blocking spammers registration is working smoothly.

Mine seems to have suddenly quit working, I had a huge amount of spammers get by last night including plastering my board with spam posts. Has something changed recently?

Same here, yesterday a lot of spammers grant access to register in my forum. SOM log showed: "Unabe to connect to SOM server,... " in each registration. "Passed to vbulletin,..."

Any problem with the server? Anything we have to change?

Thanks!

I believe this is not an issue. If I'm correct in my assumption, this has to do it the StopForumSpam database is down for maintenance.

What should happen if the remote connection times out when querying the new registration?

* Note: Only applies if set to block listed registrations in the above setting
If this is set to Allow Registration then you could get some spammers. I wouldn't suggest that you deny the registration, simply because it should be temporary.

10:40 a.m. yesterday
I went to the board first thing this morning and thought WTF, it had been unusually inundated with spammer?s registrations and spam posts, in which took me quite awhile to clear them off from the board. I then went to here to add the ones that spammed to my spammers list and found the site was offline, due to maintenance. Oh, I thought, so that is the reason for the unusual inundation of spammers. - When the cats away the mice will play. smile

The forum that I help moderate, also got slammed last night. I also found that SFS was down. I certainly am glad it is back up.

Some of our spammers are finding ways around the Spam-O-Matic software that our Admin installed last week, by coming up with usernames, edresses, and IP addresses that are not in SFS's databanks. I am duly entering them.... cool
Information found in forum at SFS forum


I don?t know what I would do without SFS. Thanks.

In the settings, there's an option about what to do when the StopForumSpam server is unavailable. I think the default is to allow registration since usually there is another layer of protection by new users being placed in a moderated group, and you don't risk blocking legit users. You can change that if you wish.
