Turn Spam-o-matic off and problem goes away.

This one is one of the favorite questions that people like to ask. The short answer is it will be re-introduced in a later version.

+1 for purging visitor message. Most of the spam I see these days making it through registration is in the user profile messages.

Running this on my 4.0.7 board no issues, but want to upgrade to vb 4.1.3- I've read a few vague comments about people having trouble with 4.1.2 and 4.1.3 but they certainly didn't seem conclusive.. Just wondering how many people out there are/aren't having issues with this mod and 4.1.3

thanks

for what it's worth I'm only using e-mail blocking for now

Hmm

When i look at a user in the admin panel i no longer have the option at the bottom of their user profile which allowed to delete posts, ban user remover user and submit to stopforum spam.com That box has disappeared. Is that supposed to happen?

Second, I was looking at the picture examples in this posts showing the ability to click on moderation tools and choose spam-o-matic. I do not have this option nor can i see it anywhere except when looking at thread lists (not for individual spammers) and even then under the moderation tools button there is no spam-o-matic.

Basically using the "my home page" link on the profiles of my site to backlink to porn, male enhancement and other stuff that has nothing at all to do with my site, never posting.

Ok, I waited over a week with no real response to these issues. I am uninstalling the product.

Yes, check the FAQ on the first page. It will be introduced in a later version. There were problems with this section on the 4.0 boards and it was not a very popular feature. Though, some people in this thread are really vocal about adding it back, and that is why it is planned for the next version...2.5



If it is installed properly then it will appear provided some other mod is not interfering with it's display. Do the usual thing which is make sure it is installed correctly, if it is, disable all mods and see if it works, if it does, then re-enable each mod one at a time and check again until you find the mode/mod that breaks it.



Soon, its a lot of time and money to release a new version. I don't see a lot of reciprocation through donations or orders on our site from this mod though.

Revisions have been slowed down a bit because of this. As it turns out, we get a lot of PMs for free private installation requests, PMs for complaints, PMs from people that want us to hide their website links in the mod, and the list of other strangeness goes on.



It is only as aggressive as your settings. Try studying those and adjusting them to what suits your board. It is really quite flexible.



This would be a good example of what I wrote above. vBulletin.org hasn't emailed me that their were responses to this thread in over a week....sorry I could not accommodate everything you needed in the specific time frame you wanted.

I don't think it's that flexible if there isn't a threshold setting. Needs to be a little smarter. I already had over 10 complaints of people getting denied registration. That's not good. Sounds like the system needs some type of calibration.

Nope, never seen that before. Perhaps you have some security settings on the server that are preventing upload or do not like the code in the XML file. You can ask your host if there is anything in the error log.

Keep in mind I am not a free answer robot, please excuse me for missing something in the near 900 posts in this thread.

Hey

Weird eh?

When yer in a thread top right of the screen are the options like thread tool, administrative, search etc. Also up this is display. Click on it for the drop down and select threaded mode. The option to choose individual posts disappears so you cannot access the moderation tool box. at least for me

Whats a "threshold setting?"

What do your logs reveal? Its probably hits on usernames. You should be focused on IPs, then email addresses, then usernames.

I would turn off username and email checking as someone else mentioned and then turn the cache down to like a a couple days or so. As I said it is only as aggressive as you set it up to be. Holding an IP for a day or so as a known spammer is rarely going to result in a false positive.

Is there anyway to submit them and do all the ban type stuff as if they were automatically detected, but when they haven't posted?

I want to be able to just click "SPAMMER" button on their profile and auto submit.

I'll test further having this two mods on, to see what's going on in WGO and last member.

If spammers are still getting by, might need to adjust thresholds.

Can anyone toss me pointers? This is the message error that we get.
