Installed. Thank you

Step 6 in instructions. I only see Front end FAQ/Help and Front End Redirect messages. I dont see front end error messages there.
Am I missing something?

Thank you! My board was being hit hard by spammers today and this is stopping them. Prevented 6 from registering since I've installed it. :)

it rocks! Been working for me too!

I have another question. How come some say allowed user to register but I can find no trace of that user?

great just installed a few minutes ago. had about 50 registrations today all from russia. already this script stoped 41 all with email from mail.ru or gmail.com

thank you for this mod.

September board statistics are in:

9580 Total Registration attempts

18%/1700 were SFS blocked Emails
24%/2340 were SFS blocked UserName
31%/3000 were SFS blocked IPs
26%/2540 were valid registrations

Sadly valid registrations dropped significantly from last month. I had kind of hoped the spammers had given up and moved on.

IP continues to be the largest blocked reason followed by email addy and then username.

From what I understand the script works by checking against the SFS database for the details you have defined (username, email, IP, all three or selection of all). If there is no trace on SFS for those details then it allows the registration to proceed to the next stage, the actual vB registration itself.

If the user is showing in your logs as being allowed to register but then there is no userid link (basically the username isn't underlined) then the user didn't complete the registration process. If that was a spammer then you've nothing to worry about as they never actually registered and all you'd need to do, if you are certain that it is a spammer that's not on SFS, is add the details from the log to the database.

Hope that make some sort of sense lol.

unicorn, sym0n said exactly the issue. Ill check out the phrase location but if you search for "spam" in phrases, youll find it

Loving this plugin. Well done!

Am i right in the following:

- The images that are uploaded are for future versions, and there is no way to use version 0.61 to report spam?
- If i see a lot of the same user in the log a few seconds after each other (where they have been Allowed registration) then this is because they are more than likely typing an incorrect captch etc?

Cant wait for the next version.
Thanks
