Hi there,

I use GlowHost since it's available. It's free - free in this way doen't mean free of charge - and it does its work.

With GlowHost we can use StopForumSpam and Akismet, and we can check not only against eMail, we can check against IP and Username, too. I only check against eMail and IP, in the last two years I had not one spam post.

Quote:

Rob, The product price is not your business,
I don't think so, I have the price to pay for your mod. And that's my business.

So there must be some very good reasons why I should change from GlowHost to yours, this reasons I don't see.

Best regards

L.R.

Specific pricing talk has been removed- Neither side should bring up specific pricing.

It is true, this mod is overpriced and doesn't rival spam-o-matic to justify the cost. It would be foolish to swap out spam-o-matic for a paid product (wayyyyy overpriced at that) when there is something that is just as good if not better here on vb.org that is free. Have you taken a look at this: https://vborg.vbsupport.ru/showthrea...ght=spamomatic

How is yours better? Can yours out perform spam-o-matic?

Alright, Rich, quit using my copy-righted "wayyyy" without permisssion. ;)

Sorry Boofo, but you seem to have missed a "y" in mine. No infringement, yours had 4. :) lol

Just because a coder creates a lite and paid mod doesn't give them the right to shut down all discussions of how the pro version compares to a separate free version available here on vbulletin.org. I suggest you reply to to your potential customers in a polite way and if there are features that are missing from the alternative free product, you think about implementing them to generate sales. If you're going to sell a mod extremely similar to a mod here at vbulletin.org that works with the current version, I suggest you outline the benefits that make it better.

You all misunderstand what's the pro version of vBFoster, the pro version is NOT JUST A SPAM PROTECTION, please check this thread first : http://www.vbfoster.com/forums/showthread.php?t=1

GRRRRRR... This just takes you to your super-long advertising thread with 10 OTHER products, none of which 'protects your forum from spammers.' I think you have some great products, but your advertising model is very deceptive right now.

Please tell us why this is better than Spam-o-Matic for the purpose of spammers.. Thank you.

Hello All,

I'm Eric Davis, vBFoster Business and Operations manager, I want to say thank you for your huge interesting in vBFoster.

Edited by TheLastSuperman, removed discussion of pro/paid and confusion over pricing adjustments.

Great. First we get this anti-spam lite mod that isn't needed because it duplicates the Glowhost version... And now we get spam from vBFoster.

Perfect. -_-
