I am trying this on my newest forum.

What's crazy is I am getting TONS of spammers going to my small forum, but my larger forum has little to no spam at all. They are both set up the same way too.

If anyone wants to click my links in my sig to see if there is anything they think they can do to help me with the spam it would be GREATLY appreciated.

Thanks :) installed

So far its been working great

Best hack I ever seen ..
Really great jod and best why to get rid of these spamers ;)

No Spam 3.7 = Done Deal.! :D :up: :cool:

We use the FULL modification from StopForumSpam.com, too, and it works really great! We've upgraded our forum through to 3.8.4 with no problems at all with the official mod, and I highly recommend it to other boards. It includes a searchable log as well as a way to report banned spammers back to the StopForumSpam.com website database from within the AdminCP panels so that OTHER boards don't get plagued with these spammers, too. If NO ONE used the official modification to report spammers then half-useful mods such as this one become even less useful over time.

Not true, friend. If you read the developer's installation instructions on the first page, the vbStopForumSpam modification states:

Installed. Thanks.

Is there by any chance a way to compare existing users already registered on my forum with the spam database and get a report out of which ones I could do with deleting?

Thank you for this mod

I did this over a year ago

And it works just fine on 3.8

Here's the full-featured vbStopForumSpam mod listed for 3.8. It checks for the usernames, the email addresses and the IP addresses of known spammers, AND has a logfile, AND has a report-back feature in the AdminCP for tagging NEW spammers back to the StopForumSpam.com database so that OTHER boards don't get plagued.

You can manually embed the information into a URL page request to the StopForumSpam.com website, but certainly having it done automatically from within VB would be great. Maybe pedigree could design it ...

Here's how to structure the URLs.

Email address:
http://www.stopforumspam.com/api?email=me@domain.net

IP address:
http://www.stopforumspam.com/api?ip=255.255.255.255

Username:
http://www.stopforumspam.com/api?username=UserName123

or combined into one call

Will try it now and let you know how it peforms!thanks

Thanks for this, I love the way others have hijacked your modification thread hawking their mod. gees

I'm having this error, could you please fix it? It still registers the user, but it says this,

" vBulletin Message
Unable to add cookies, header already sent.
File: /home/realshi1/public_html/includes/class_core.php
Line: 3314"

Could you please fix it?

I hope this can be fixed...

This is brilliant. Thanks a lot.

thanks

I'm using vBulletin 3.8.6.
On the vbStopForumSpam post it says "reported to work with.... 3.8.4" - no 3.8.6 on the list in January 2011 and most importantly: it's still in beta stage. You guys should not post "I did this over a year ago" and link to a beta version IMHO.
