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

The use is using the same IP each time! That is what I don't understand, I would have thought the program would have submitted the IP as a spammer and not allowed that IP to be used on my site or any other.

I have the vbulletin email verification on.

I may have to consider another vbulletin plug in to work with this one, but I don't like to have too many plugins installed because I have had problems and I have limited knowledge:(
The nature of my site would allow me to simply ban all IPs from certain countries.

By the way, he's back. He shows as registered, and leaves a signature. If he tries to post, spamomatic stops that.

This program will not ban his ip you need to add his ip to the banned list in options if you add the plugins I posted above they will help he won't be back

You didn't answer the question about which blocking options you have enabled for spam-o-matic. If you are unsure take a screen shot showing the complete options page for spam-o-matic, with any ids for askiment, etc, blacked out.

Set SOM to:

Moderate post

Ban User

In vB don't allow duplicate e-mail addresses. If the IP is a bad IP then ban it in vB. You can also not allow signatures in vB under usergroup permissions. Then create a forum for banned users and don't delete the user, but move the post to that forum. You may keep the forum hidden in forum permissions if you like.

In your example, [url=something] should trigger a moderation provided you have:

[url

A user typing something.com would not trigger a moderation because you would need:

something.com

...to be in the bad word list exactly written as you'd like to be moderated.

There is no partial match support outside of the [url and [img tags

To upgrade this product I would just overwrite the files in the FTP then allow over write with the xml correct? Also will I still have all my pre-sets saved or will they be gone? Thanks! :)

Sadly this mod also adds a link to "Glowhost" at the bottom and the Spam-O-Matic header links to this thread without saying that anywhere.
Yes I understand this is a free mod, but that doesn't justify infringing people's websites lol. You made yourself look unprofessional and I personally wouldn't use "glow host" web service because of how it's being promoted; maliciously.
My immediate guess is that it's re-seller hosting for a failing web host service with alot of downtime ran by you.
Sorry if this offends you, but this is my honest, constructive, criticizing opinion that could probably help you out.

You can remove the link in the settings if you take the time and look over them then you would of seen this

I really DIDN'T notice that when I posted but I would change it up a bit if I released the mod. I still DO feel it's slightly malicious and that affects the reputation of the service slightly

I installed this program earlier this week, and I seem to have new members having a problem with the return key on their keyboard not working when posting. Makes for some long paragraphs!

Where should I look?

Thanks

I'm just a bit confused about the API key from stopforumspam.com and the one from Akismet. Do they do the same thing? Is one superior to the other?

The following quote makes it seem that both would be good:

Spammers that make it past the StopForumSpam and Auto-Moderation will be checked against the Akismet service.

In other words, are we duplicating a service that might add complexity and increase chance of conflicts? If we use both, are we significantly enhancing our spam barriers?

Thanks.
