Stop Forum Spam is fine, but the ability to purge a spammer account and all traces while reporting the spammer is incredibly valuable to me. Remember, these a$$holes are running their scams and WE foot the bill. They are attempting to manipulate search engines with their garbage, and the more that is removed reduced their effectiveness.

There's a reason I removed the "welcome to our newest member code" from my site. Why would I want to welcome a potential spammer and potentially push up their internet search engine standing? Same thing goes for member listings...none of my forum members are listed until they have three validated posts.

Sorry for the rant, but this is a subject that is near and dear. Either way, if more forum owners were a bit more savvy and took more interest in purging/reporting spammers, we'd all be better off. ANY anti-spam tool is better than apathy.

Did this bug /security fix ever come out?
It's still says version 2.10 released 1/10/2103

The "Last Update:" item at the top tells you when the last update went out.

We are having a problem with this Mod, when enabled and a member posts it goes to a blank white screen and when i disable it everything goes back to normal, posts post normally.

Any ideas on what could be the issue?

Hi,

Our web servers are behind an Amazon load balancer in TCP mode (transport layer) - so they cannot see the IP address if a client. I could configure load Balancer in HTTP mode and get Amazon to pass X-Forwarded-For header. Will Spam-0-Matic work with this header? Or does it look for REMOTE_ADDR?

If I run HTTPS then I will have to terminate SSL traffic on the load balancer to get this header forwarded to the web server. Not very good from a security point of view.

Any other alternative if the above is not possible?
