I believe it involves the function to reject a registration when connection to Stop Forum Spam times out.
No, that is optional. I have it set to approve the registration if the connection to the database times out. i also have it set to checkp IP and email address but NOT member name, which is where I suspect you'd get false positives.

I haven't checked 100% of course but I don't believe I've had any false positives on my forum.

What's the other mod you mention?

Yes I did also but I think it causes a bug to reject people not on the list

I use both. The vBStopForumSpam mod is not foolproof. It's good, dont get me wrong, but its not foolproof.

One thing that I think would greatly enhance this mod, would be to have the IP's location revealed in the email. (intergrate with ip2location.com or something similar)

I know when someone from bangledesh registers on my classic mopar forum, they are a spammer, and delete them right away.

Good points, Joey. In fact the latest version of what I'm using on my own site looks like this:

Code:
There is a new user, $username at $vboptions[bbtitle]

View member profile: $memberlink
Check IP location in Melissa:  http://www.melissadata.com/lookups/iplocation.asp?ipaddress=$ipaddress

View Profile: $memberlink
Check for Spam (email): http://www.stopforumspam.com/search?q=$email
Check for Spam (name): http://www.stopforumspam.com/search?q=$username
Check for Spam (IP): http://www.stopforumspam.com/search?q=$ipaddress

Delete this User: $vboptions[bburl]/admincp/user.php?do=remove&u=$userid
Ban this user: $vboptions[bburl]/modcp/banning.php?do=banuser&u=$userid

Email Address : $email
Birthday : $birthday
Referrer: $referrer
IP Address: $ipaddress

$customfields

Nice! Thank you!

Actually, what I posted above is for vBulletin 4.1.4.

Here are the changes for 3.8.x and 4.x prior to 4.1.4:

Code:
There is a new user, $username at $vboptions[bbtitle]

View Profile: $vboptions[bburl]/member.php?u=$userid

Check IP location in Melissa:  http://www.melissadata.com/lookups/iplocation.asp?ipaddress=$ipaddress

Check for Spam (email): http://www.stopforumspam.com/search?q=$email
Check for Spam (name): http://www.stopforumspam.com/search?q=$username
Check for Spam (IP): http://www.stopforumspam.com/search?q=$ipaddress

Delete this User: $vboptions[bburl]/admincp/user.php?do=remove&u=$userid
Ban this user: $vboptions[bburl]/modcp/banning.php?do=banuser&u=$userid

Email Address : $email
Birthday : $birthday
Referrer: $referrer
IP Address: $ipaddress

$customfields

What would be FANTISTIC would be if the IP location would be fetched and sent in the new user email --

SO that instead of getting:

Check IP location in Melissa: http://www.melissadata.com/lookups/iplocation.asp?ipaddress=76.102.90.132

You get something like this:

Check IP location in Melissa: Sunnyvale, CA

That way you know immediately if there might be a spammer.

djbaxter 07-08-2011 01:54 AM
Melissa is a free service. The problem with your suggestion is that it would send automated queries to that service, which would be unfair to the service owners.
