Installed on 3.8.4

JUst so I can get my head round all this, if we set a weight of 1.0 for say the word viagra, and that is used 48 times within a new post of a member who has less than 5 posts, and our threshold score is say 50... then their post gets POSTED ?

Assuming moderation threshold score set at 50, reject threshold set to 100 and it scans only people with < 5 posts...

User 1 with post count of 50:
Post appears.

User 2 with post count of 2:
Post appears.

User 3 with post count of 4:
Post goes to moderation queue.

User 4 with post count of 1:
Post doesn't even get posted.


Of course, you should have more than one word, and they'd run into the limit a lot sooner. You can also have things like $, http://, url=, etc. on your list. You can also adjust the threshold limits. You can also adjust the keyword weight (IE: viagra = 50 points right away).

Long story short, you control the magic.

Nokia cell phones anyone? :p

Cheers Andy ! Good one.

Where do i put/find the keyword and threshold settings?

You can enter your keywords and weights in Admin CP > vBulletin Options > Keyword Weight Anti-spam.
You will need to find and craft your own set of filter to cater the spams that you are getting though. The default set really only targets one set of commonly recurring ad for certain cell phone seller...

Very impressed with this mod, found that negative values also work.
e.g. if you have a forum about selling cialis and don't want people posting about viagra, you can give 'cialis' a negative value so that if someone happens to use both in the same post (maybe they're comparing the differences and that makes it NOW an on-topic post), chances are the system will allow the conversation unless they say viagra multiple times.

Works perfectly to stop bots spamming warez / trojans too.

For example hotfile.com is now worth 1 point on our forum, so when a bot spams links to warez hosted on hotfile.com the post is instantly rejected :)

Surprised this mod has not gained more attention, I can see this been a great asset to our forum!

Keep up the great work.

Impressive... Just wanted to say thanks.

It hasn't been updated for a while but I hope we can see a 4.0 version.

I'm so sorry for the noob question, but how do I install it?

I downloaded the XML file but I'm at a loss for what to do... :(

Thanks for the help!

Nevermind, I found it... THANKS!!!!

This is GREAT!!

Now if only someone who knows some coding can help me with my other problem... :(
