Thanx - I thought it as valid question as well ;)

Jacquii.

Has anyone tried this on 3.7?

not yet. my mods constantly complain about the lack of the "spam button" and how complicated vb's anti spam system is. i'll try this addon on 3.7 and let you know

I just put it on 3.7, tested it and it works. Yes - The button is easier and Decimator has more options.

Yeah, that's what I thought too, but what do I know, I'm just the author :rolleyes:

Thanks to the guys above for the confirmation that this works with 3.7. I'm officially announcing right now I will work on a version specifically for 3.7 (call it the 2.0 I've been working on on and off for roughly two years...so I'm slow, so what :p).

Given that vB's system only works with the akismet (a detail I wasn't aware of at all when I announced I was discontinuing the extension for 3.7...), I will work on finishing up 2.0 to get it out to you guys sooner than later, although as usual, not promising a date, just promising that I will get it done eventually. I'm about to hit a week or so where I'm going to do almost nothing but code and go to work, so...this'll be on the list.

It would *really* be nice if a new version would work with the Blog add-on to kill/delete posts in blogs as well.

I'll definitely contribute again for a revised version. The one built into vB doesn't come close to this mod. It's my favourite and the favourite of my moderators.

I can look into that, no guarantees on this version though since I don't actually have access to that add on or its source code (or even a database schema).

I'll donate the US$50 for you to get the add-on if that's what you need and will do it. PM or email me if you're interested. BTW, I'm just north of Cincinnati.

That's cool, I'm originally from NE Ohio, now very settled here at tOSU :D

May have to take you up on that in a couple of weeks. I actually just got done finishing the plugin for the new system (won't have to make manual template edits every time you add a new usergroup now, it'll all be based on the settings and the initial template edit, which gets a lot less complicated in the new version).

Working list of 2.0 features (I've probably missed quite a few, feel free to suggest more guys, I'm all for doing a ton of work this summer ;))

-Start new thread in forum X when Decimator is used
-Multiple usergroups per permissions level (i.e. more than one mod group can be used)
-Better email message to webmaster (currently only the user who used SD is in there)
-Option to not allow use on a user with more than X posts, or to protect certain usergroups from use within the script (previously only done within the template).

That's all for now. I've just gotten through the most frustrating part of the development (templates and plugins...ugh...), so this should be a breeze after finals next week :D.

I don't know why, but on my board there are a few users with over 1000 posts whose posts show the button. I installed it a long time ago and can't remember what I tried to fix it, but never succeeded. I've just let it be because my mods are totally in love with it. It works. I can't say I have even used the one that's built into the 3.7 vBulletin. I don't know if it works in their blog add on or not (just haven't looked). We got hit by a blog spammer (and there are only a couple of blogs) and I didn't see anything at the time. Actually I don't expect to see much blog spam, but having that easy button there, and all the options, is just too nice. My forum has a great group of moderators so we keep spam under control (often spam posts are caught in minutes because there's almost always someone there). Anyway...

Just let me know about $. My board does quite well. 50 bucks isn't a biggie. I'd be more than happy to help out.
