Thanks for this, spammers have plagued me in the past.
Don't know if you all know about this site:

Thanks this is really useful, stops those annoying users keep posting links.
One touch ban and clean was good too, I cant find it in 3.7..
This supplements that very well.

96 installs so far. What are your experiences with this hack?

Check4spam stops all ads from appearing on our forums (WoW gold bots so far), which is very good. I am waiting for the next version with auto-banning btw, since right now we have to do that manually. It might also be a neat feature to delete the spam user, so that the users table isn't spammed with spam users.

I'd much prefer that spammers were simply stopped from registering altogether, but eh.

I uninstalled it due to some of the comments here. There are a few bugs and it would be the most useful anti-spam modification available if some features were added, but we haven't seen any updates.

It might still offer basic functions though. Since most spam looks the same it's nice to have something that submits it for moderation automatically.

Andy Huang released something similar to this, and it doesn't have some of the bugs this one has. I'm going to bump it in a minute and ask about the auto-banning feature, but it does have a feature that automatically removes posts for having too many pre-set keywords.

I am most interested in the function 'Stop newbies from posting URL's or email addresses '. I am aware of one other hack that does this, but that one stops users from posting images.

1.) If a user edits their post they can bypass the Check4SPAM system and post anything they wish, including links.

2.) It would seem it stops bots from posting links as long as they have less than 5 posts, but see when they post a topic with a link in there and it sends the link they tried to submit to the forum we set it to, it gives them a post toward their post count. So if they post five times and all five times are sent to that forum then they have 5 posts. So now if they post a link it is allowed. Understand?

No only if you are a commercial website. You can get a key for free:

There's no difference in a free key or commercial key besides one costing money.

Don't have that specific forum set to add user posts to their post count...

Does this apply to social groups and visitor messages also? If not, please add it.
