NOT WORKING for me :( ( Vb 4.1.0 p2 )

I need a mod like this for vb 3.8 with the ability to add exceptions. For instance I need to be able to exclude links to from my own forum or from google,etc.

Hi,

thanks for great mod... i need this also for the profiles... the most spammer registered and then post a message to the pinnwall in there profile...

any idea to prevent this... like do you need x posts to place links here?

Thanks Thomas

I agree. Would be great to have a mod like this for vB 3.8 :up:

I tested it. People can still posts links on Visitor pages. Hopefully there will be an update for this.

Normally links are not allowed anyway on article comments; and blogs are automatically moderated when their is a link.

In Community Groups links are not affected either.

Nice one thanks - another layer of protection for the spammers that manage to get in.

just installed on 4.1.4. as far as i can tell, it works fine.

Reserved for later

Thanks for the mod.

I found that Report-a-Post (to a forum) was being blocked, even if you put the reported ports forum in the list of excluded forums.

I believe this work-around is working for me:
In both of these plugins:
threadfpdata_presave
postdata_presave

Before:
Add:
And at the end, add the matching

This add-on is preventing members from posting images.

On my forum I have members use photobucket or imageshack to host their images then embed them on the forum. I do this to minimize data storage on my server.

Is there any way you can fix this issue?

I've disabled this mod until this can be fixed.

Addamroy,
The PHP code is pretty simple, so it shouldn't be too difficult to edit it to create exceptions for links to those two sites.

I'm not much of a coder lol.

I'd appreciate it if you could help me out though, not a bad idea.

installed and nominated for MOTM. :)

so far so good in 4.1.11 :)

It is working fine. Thanks I really needed this hack to cut down on spammers that join and post links of their first post. Nominated it for MOTM!

Is there anyway to get this to also prevent links being put in blog posts?

I modified the error message on mine to say "An error has occured, username. Posting link is a privilege you have not yet earned." rather than stating how many posts they need to make to be able to do it.

I would like to see this block links in blogs and visitor messages. Those are two areas that seem to be spammer favorites.

Does this mod prevent email addresses as well as urls?

Yes.

Does it prevent URL's in the user's profile or visitors? and with the option after say 20 posts url's are allowed.

A new version that will prevent posting of links in signatures, pm and visitor messages besides posts and threads has been released at my forum.

The mod is free. However registration is required to download it.

Thanks for this great tool. I use the version on forumservices.eu and it works good. Thanks

I have the post count set to 20 posts to post links. And someone with just 3 posts was able to post a link. It wasn't hyperlinked, but it was like: example.com

Is there a way to make this add-on not just block hyperlinked urls but "words" that end with .com, .net, .co.uk, .info, .biz... etc...

I just don't like how there is such an easy work-around for people to post links.

Posting the domain name like that is not seen as a link. Anyway, I can expand the mod to include your suggestions for a fee. Please let me know if you are interested.

I'm interested. How much is the fee?

I sent you a pm about it.

looks great. saved for later installation.

I would be interested in that the links would become active only after certain number of posts, not necessarily blocked from posting, as spammers only go to a site to submit active links.

garbage posters get banned quickly anyway

Thought I'd try the pro version...

I'm on Opt Online in an area of the world with over 13 million people called New York City. I'll pass on the crazy security. Thanks anyway.

I have disabled that mod that I had to prevent multiple registrations from the same ip. I had installed it to show it to someone how it looked like when used, who wanted to buy it and had forgotten all about it.

Thank you for the explanation. I will check it out.

tagged. :)

Rated one star because it sucks that we have to sign up to a another forum to get a working file.. since this file has been purposely updated to fail after instal!

Would you want me to hand deliver the mod to your home your highness and install it and configure it as well for you while I am at it so you won'''t have to lift a finger.

P.s. What it really sucks here is whiny posts like this btw from spoiled brats. And I do not give a flying you know what about your one star rate ;)

Does it work on vB 4.2 ?

Yes, it does.

gr8 work..

Required one.......

Number of Posts to Post Links

not appearing on my settings-> options

The attached file is not working. In other to get the file I need to create account on the forum but it's not accessible at the moment!!

The forum is open again. However the free mod at my site doesn''t exist anymore. Instead it is expanded further with more options and can be found as a premium mod here:

http://www.forumservices.eu/vb/threa...ector-Suite-10

At the first post here you can see some screenshots of the premium version.,

I'm interest in the old mod could you replace the file attached in VB.org with the Mod (that actually work)?

Thanks.
