Weird. I barely have any spammers get through at all. Are you (hopefully) using other human verification?

I am getting the following error when I try to delete posts:

Parse error: syntax error, unexpected T_STRING in /home/seismi7/public_html/forum/includes/class_core.php(4637) : eval()'d code on line 4

I haven't found a solution to fix this. Any ideas?

Thanks for response Simon, I've tried that already and the error is definitely coming from SpamOMatic

Also, how do I use the Easy Cleanup tools?

D) Newbies Manager
Should you decide to enable this option, you can create a new usergroup and then tell Spam-O-Matic about it. Once SOM knows about this usergroup, and once enabled, all new users will be part of the Newbies group. The idea here is that you make a Newbies group that has limited forum permissions. For example, no signatures, no BB code, no images, and etc. This group is created completely in the vB admincp. Spam-O-Matic simply makes it the graduation process to the normal Registered Users group, automatic.

AFAIK, it's not possible in the AdminCP to make a usergroup that bans BB code, much as I really wish I could! It's a forum-wide setting only.
So, how can I do this?

Those are bots, either from a botnet or spoofing addresses and IPs that are not in the database.

Add the Spammers suck! mod - it will work in tandem with SFS to stop bots even when they're not yet in the database.

When the spammer's post gets moderated, it's not showing in the regular moderation queue. Does it send it to another queue that I don't know about?
