vb.org Archive - Anti-Spam Options - [GlowHost] Spam-O-Matic

Is anyone else noticing people getting through with IPs that are listed in stopforumspam.com? I've noticed it quite a bit lately on a couple different vB sites w/ this mod installed..

I have IP check enabled
I have it set to block if it can't reach the stopforumspam site..

I believe even if it is in the database, if it is old (like 180 days, not sure what the length of time is), it will no longer block that ip.

open functions_ghsom.php
replace code from line 96 - 105 with

PHP Code:


		
			
                        case 'username':
                            $is_spam = VBGHSFS_getXML('http://api.stopforumspam.org/api?username='.urlencode($data).'&f=serial', $field);
                            break;

                        case 'email':
                            $is_spam = VBGHSFS_getXML('http://api.stopforumspam.org/api?email='.urlencode($data).'&f=serial', $field);

Ok - as an update..

I remembered about the logs that it provides, so I looked through there - I had a total of 80 registration attempts on one of my sites today.. of that 80, it let 4 through.

The 4 were from the same IP address, which is in the stopforumspam.com database 57 times so far..

My API code currently does point to www.stopforumspam.com and not api.stopforumspam.com but because of the 76 blocks today it seems to be contacting the server fine..

I did just change the code to what you have pasted above and will see how it goes over the next couple days..

Thanks,
Rob

How does the newbie filter work if you have Email Activation enabled on vBulletin?

Because Email Activation puts them into a group awaiting Email activation, while Glow Host is trying to put them into the Newbies group.

Normally this wouldn't be a problem. Most people immediately go and activate.

But with Spam Bots, they register, never activate by email, and since GlowHost puts the user into a group which has posting privileges, they are able to post on the forum without activating.

This is where the problem arises.

If this is in fact a bug, or oversight, the solution would be for GlowHost to *wait* until they have moved out of the "Awaiting Email Activation" group before considering them a new registrant.

As it stands, it immediately considers them an activated registrant.

) TYPE=MyISAM; ');

Code:
