Great mod but it is a shame it blocks facebook registrants. This is a great way to obtain new traffic..

I will see if it is only the one click registration that is being blocked or is it the url, email or ip's that are being blocked?

There has got to be a fairly easy way to make an exception to allow Facebook users to register..

Great mod though besides that one issue..

We have a plugin that does the same functions as this plugin available on our site right now.

Its been modified a bit to work with vB4 and facebook as well as other enhancements.

If you want to give it a week we have version 1.0.3 which we will be posting on vbulletin.org that has some additional functionality including Akismet integration, and auto submission to both SFS and Akismet services, and automatic moderation based on certain admin-defined criteria.

We are running the newer version now on our live site, and it seems to be working fine.

If you want the functions of this Stop Forum Spam plugin but with Facebook functionality on vBulletin 4, you can find it here:

Version 1.01 and 1.02 were internal releases that were not stable.

Version 1.0.0 and version 1.0.3 are the stable versions. I will update this thread when v 1.0.3 is released in the next week.

Thank you, GlowHost. I'll give your product a try! :)

Hi Maipoman, sure thing. Actually we released a new version today on vBulletin.org that has some additional functionality. Enjoy!

this isn't working correctly it's denying innocent people as well, i get 200 - 500 registrations per day i receive about 20 = 30 emails per day from people that have been denied registration, i tried to re-register my self and it denied me, 4 times out or 5 on the same ip address....

True it does stop the spam bots but it you also lose some members because it denies them when it shouldn't

I'm not taqlking about the facebook loggins either i don;t have that enabled on my forums

Do the logs say why you were banned?

Hi,

This really is the best spam stopper for users, but it is still blocking legit users ie: aol etc.

Is there anyway you can add a whitelist for IP's that users send me? I'm in a tough situation in that I need to be able to allow access to legit subscribers.

Thanks!

Just an fyi...


On a side note, is there a way to move the submit to stopforumspam section in the admincp to the top of the row rather than the bottom?

is there a way to display total spambots that have been blocked to display on the forum page ?

I've had a huge issue with this plugin. We launched a new site last week and it was running great before. However, when we started to get people coming to visit, after an hour I was getting constant emails to tell me that:

What the plugin was doing was causing too many consecutive queries through the database at one time. As soon as I disabled the plugin, it was fine again.

My host allows for 15 simultaneous queries at one time to the database.
