This isn't working correctly. Here's what I've got. I imported the product. I set it to a minimum post count of 15, usergroup field is empty and the spam message is configured.

I added a test account, made a new thread, and the spam filter kicked in. It was a url using BB code.

I then made a reply, added something like apple.com, no BB code, it showed the link. I added a 2nd reply with getmorefreestuff.com, no BB code, it showed the link. WTF?

Looking at the hook location, apparently this only works when the spammer starts a new thread. replying to exisitng threads does not trigger the spam message.

BTW, how does this affect RSS feeds on the forums?

What would be ideal is to stop spam links 1.2. :) On new thread, new reply, QR, quote or edit.

Yeah, it's only designed for new threads. For those people who register just to spam their links, or for bots who somehow manage to get around other spam protection.

I'll tinker with the reply quote edit, etc and see what I can come up with :)

Here's what I'm thinking. Forget about the bots for a second, because my site gets real a-hole spammers. If a spammer hits the site and posts a new thread, the message he will see. If it were me, I'd hit reply to the same thread. The reason for this would be the thread already exists.

Worst case scenerio, it would be ideal to code this to act when replying to an existing thread. Whether it be QR, or full reply (not sure if there is a hook difference in the 2)

(v1.2)Ok, now it checks:

When the user creates a new thread
When the user edits a post (quick & advanced)
When the user quotes or replies to a thread
When the user Creates or Replies to a PM
When the user Previews a post

Installing the upgrade now. :)

Is there a reason why the upgrade needs to be done by uninstalling vs. overwriting?

No, I just like to recommend clean installs to illiminate any flukes :)

ah! OK.
