Ah, so instead of moderating it, it would move it to say, a dump forum? I can probably implement that when I have time.

I've found it's also effective to add the keyword "www" to the filter, so if low-postcount spammers don't post the full URL it will still block their posts.

Finally Done!

Thanks Dan, i was waiting for this

Can someone post a screenshot of "Configure the product" settings?

Check the first post now, I've added it as an attachment.

This is a very nifty, but powerful modification. Many Thanxx for creating and sharing it with all of us!

I imported the .xml file, set the critera in the AdminCP, and then edited the invalidid phrase and it worked fine at first.

Then I went and created a new discussion thread (similar to yours) that the invalidid phrase error could point them towards. Lastly, I went back and re-edited the invalidid phrase with the address of that newly created thread.

Once I did that, I no longer get an error notice anymore when I post spam now.:disappointed: The MOD still works, in that it seems to perfectly catch what needs to be held for moderation...it's just it doesn't tell the author anything about what's being done.(i.e. Doesn't seem like the invalidid error msg is being called upon any longer)

After posting, the screen refreshes and you're brought back to the thread, but w/o the spam message showing up you just posted.(as it's being held for moderation now)

I went back and reset the invalidid phrase to original and it didn't help any. I went back and re-imported the .xml file and it didn't help. Any ideas as to what else could be wrong??

EDIT: Nothing is broke, I just didn't understand how the MOD works. Turns out it still works perfectly for NEW THREADS. It just doesn't show the person posting a REPLY or QUICK REPLY the error message as I thought it would. In either case, it still marks the message awaiting moderation as it should though. :up:

Is is all or none for the settings? In other words can you set just one setting and leave the rest blank?

They are individually checked except postcount.

If you set the keywords to blank, it will only use the number of URLs and post count.
If you don't want to use the URL option set it very high, like 50 per post.
If you don't want to use the postcount option, set it to 0.

Are you using the Phrase Manager or the Language Manager?

I changed the message here: Languages & Phrases -> Phrase Manager -> Phrase Type: Error Messages -> invalidid

I noticed the option exists in the Language Manager as well but it does not seem to make the error message change. This error message should be independent of the mod -- meaning if you uninstalled the mod you should be able to change this error to "I eat sandwiches" or something and see it whenever a thread is not found or is moderated.

Ideally I'll mod it to give the same message given when a user posts a message that is flagged as moderated, but I don't know where to do this yet...
