See boys a girls, this is why you don't use phpbb3 and then get taken away from your forums by a new job on short notice.

Yes, sorry for that. Think it will be more clear if i released the final 2.0.

Go to ACP --> vBulletin Settings --> Spam Decimator Settings

Also I think that the "check IP adress" should only tell moderator if anybody used the same IP adress and then give him the possibility to choose accordingly, giving them some kind of link and not brutally deleting. This may lead to errors. Painful errors.

The "check IP Address" option only tell all users which have the same ip. It takes no action against the other users, only against the choosen one.

I can't allow moderators to use this mod untill you give us the possibility to limit the "check same IP adress", in some enviroments is a too risky option, you know how are customers...

If you need it, i can implement an on/off option for that feature in the next release.

As you see it's not so hard to find you people that match the same IP while registering and in that precise moment, and maybe just one of them is a spammer, not everybody is so luck to have a private internet connection at home.

Yeah, i fully understand what you mean. That's the reason why this option has only the job to show the users, not ban/delete anything.

I misunderstood its use then, you may wisely describe this for the new users to come.

No, I said this while misunderstanding how the mod works, it's fine like that.

Thanks for your help

Post #36 really really needs to be implemented replacing the current SPAM link. Spammers that don't touch the forums can't be decimated :(

Can I use this to scan for spam and mass delete spam?

I got a question, I want all threads/posts to be moved into a specific forum, I see there's an option to do that:

Quote:

- Move Threads to Specified Forum? - Yes
- Which forum shall be used as the "junk" forum (i.e. what forum threads are moved to if Move To Forum? is enabled)?

I enabled this option, but when I use the mod it doesn't seem to "move" the thread to the specific forum, but deletes it completely. I've tested it with a user and a post of myself, but wasn't able to find the thread or my reply in the thread, which was created by a user I used this mod on.

(The id, is the number at the end of the url, when I click on the forum, right?!)

Besides that, great mod, def. going to use it!

I have this installed on multiple VB4 sites. The SPAM button is the exact same as the ones listed after each thread and brings up the decimator window as shown in the modifications description:

https://vborg.vbsupport.ru/attachmen...4&d=1317579819

It does nothing else. Double checked and working as designed.

Good mod..thanks marked installed.

I installed the mod.
I did not visit the settings to REALLY enable blog post spam deletion.
I ran the tool against a user.
His blog spam was still there.
I figured out I REALLY needed to enable the blog spam removal.
I enabled that.
I visited the thread where the post was soft deleted of the user who I ran the tool against.
I ran the tool against him again, this time I was sure I would delete all his blog spam.
All the blog posts on my site were deleted.
I am more than pissed right now, need to restore blog table from most recent incremental rsoft backup.

BE CAREFUL WITH THIS!
Developer should patch to prevent that.

MediaHound

Here is a very quick and dirty fix for anyone who might do that to themself.
Restore the deleted posts to be visible:

Code:

UPDATE `forum`.`blog` SET `state` = 'visible' WHERE `blog`.`blogid` =1;

and if you are happy,

Code:

UPDATE `forum`.`blog` SET `state` = 'visible' WHERE `blog`.`blogid` >1;

and then restore the deleted comments to be visible:

Code:

UPDATE `forum`.`blog_text` SET `state` = 'visible' WHERE `blog_text`.`blogtextid` =1;

and if you are happy,

Code:

UPDATE `forum`.`blog_text` SET `state` = 'visible' WHERE `blog_text`.`blogtextid` >1;

MediaHound

01-21-2012 01:05 PM

Well I just ran it again on a fresh spammer and again all my blog posts are deleted.

MediaHound

01-21-2012 01:23 PM

Once you restore all the blog posts, you can go in and delete just the offending blog posts and comments, using a query like this

Code:

UPDATE `forum`.`blog_text` SET `state` = 'deleted' WHERE `blog_text`.`userid` =7870

and

Code:

UPDATE `forum`.`blog` SET `state` = 'deleted' WHERE `blog`.`userid` =7870;

just change the userid to the correct one you want to clean up.

Hopefully an update fixing this bug and re-palcement of the SPAM button as requested here: https://vborg.vbsupport.ru/showpost....4&postcount=20
can be done soon. More or less will put the finishing touches on this awsome mod :)

MediaHound found a huge bug which was related to blog post deletion.
I fixed and updated the mod. It's not the best solution, but for more i haven't time yet.

Sorry for the delay, i hope 2013 i can come back with more features and faster updates. Atm my real life really sucks.

Yea I have spammers that only blog post and so there is not an easy way to hit a SPAM button on their "forum posts". So there is no doorway to execute this on certain people who need it. ADMINCP option is needed badly.

My post #20 in this thread describes this request. Post #36 describes how to do this. Still hopeing the author implements this into the core. Until then use TMS to make the changes.

<span class="seperator">&nbsp;</span>

</li>

</vb:if>

You can change the groupid number depend on your forum;)

This code is not working in 4.2. It seems like it should, but it pops open a spam decimator window with empty strings for userid, postid, etc.

Hello All,

So I've tried to implement the code in Post 36 based on the request in Post #20. I was able to drop the code in and get the spam button. But when I click on it - the user id isn't passed in.

The userid, threadid, and postid url parameters are blank...

I too am in a situation where someone went nuts adding spam blog posts but no forum posts.

I upgraded to 4.2.2 and this seems to be working ok

I installed it in 4.2.2 and it works OK, but I have noticed the following issues:

1. The program doesn't move the deleted posts in the forum designated in AdminCP.
2. While in AdminCP, I have set it to not send emails to spammers, that option still appears in the Decimator window, as well as the option to email webmaster. If these options are set to "No", in AdminCP, they should not appear at all, in the Decimator window.

Finally, one request: I would love to see the spammer IP address added at the beginning of the "Banned IP addresses" list. That should be controlled by an AdminCP option.

I re-released this here (very minor update):
https://vborg.vbsupport.ru/showthread.php?t=294660

Then released a much larger/sophisticated version here:
https://vborg.vbsupport.ru/showthread.php?t=301466

If you post your ideas we will consider implementing them within SA.

To fix post#36 just change {vb:raw post.userid} to {vb:raw memberinfo.userid}

One of the sites I help with (vB 4.2.3) uses this product, and the only issue I had with it was the position of the spam-decimator button, which I fixed with a plugin hooked at "parse_templates" with the code:

PHP Code:


		
			
global $vbulletin;



if ($vbulletin->options['sd_enabled'] AND in_array(THIS_SCRIPT, array('showthread', 'private')))

{

    $template_hook['headinclude_css'] .= '<style>.decimator_link {height: 0 !important; padding: 0 !important;} .decimator_link img {position: relative !important; height: 15px !important; margin-right: 10px !important;}</style>';

}

I need it to delete over 3000 blog spam posts. Can this mod do that?
