Anyone know if this still works in 3.8?

I think you could add one thing. After clicking Spam button we are moved to new page with question like this: "Do you really want to ban and delete all post & threads of user...." and below two buttons YES and NO. I think that with this would be no mistakes.

I was using this One Stop Spam ban Mod, which was good, it deleted all the posts, banned the user, banned the IP Address and it also was able to Delete the user...

That was a really good mod, but, it has been stopped because the mod creator died,

Can you also have this mod Delete the user? And is there a way of adding this mod into the Profile, so that moderators do not have to click and see the thread itself to use this mod, thank you

I dont want the Mods to have Options To Tick whether I get an Email and certainly, I do not want us to waste time Sending Emails to Spammers!! So, this should be in Admin CP too, so that these options do not appear for the mods

SO, I Want A button Inside the Profiles, So With One Click, all their Posts are Deleted and the User is Deleted and their IP is Banned.. ---

Otherwise, people have to look at the Spam posts to Delete them, I am Using Monkey Stop Keyword and URL Moderator, its quite nifty in that it puts any new posts under moderation, so most spam is caught like that. Then all we need to do is BAN/Delete User, ---

Any 3.8 version?

This works in 3.8.1 with no problems. ;)

I would like to see the button removed from all PM's and also, the options should be in the admincp and not for the mods to decide.

Thanks for a great hack! :up:

Anyone know why my Supermods can't see the spam button? I have the setting correct but both my regular mods and supermods cannot see the button. I've done everything I can think of and it's not working for them.

I do know the settings are correct...but they still can't see it.

Any ideas?

Thanks

This will fix that:

At first glance, I thought it might have just been to make the boxes unticked by default. But, I tried it and it does in fact make them unticked, grayed out and unable to be ticked. So, it completely removes the option for mods to have the emails sent.

I'm only just now trying this mod locally and deciding what to use for the live board. I'm torn between this and the 1-Touch Ban and Clean or whatever it's called. I like some aspects of both so far.

RaidenDAWG2, I'm sorry if this was answered and I missed it, but are there any plans to add a feature to delete all the spammers outgoing PMs (even in the distant future :P) ? Thanks either way :D

Nice work, a 2 minute mod to get it rolling. My mods and admin love the option and are waiting for a spammer to test it out.

I assume that if it used when it should not have been, there is a way to restore the user? Does it write to .htacess or ACP or both?

Thanks for your effort!

i hope it is updated for use on the latest versions of vbulletin.

It works fine on 3.8.1. Probably ok on 3.8.2 as well.

yeap it seems to be working fine. i had expected this to be available in 3.8 section as well. just found about this useful mod on vbseo forum :)

Would be nice to be able to turn off the email to admin notifying of a ban. We have to use this mod several times every day.

Uncheck the 'Email Webmaster' box.

I would if there was such an option. But there isn't. Not in the Spam Decimator settings page, anyhow.

It's in the Decimator pop-up, not the settings. Look right above the Decimate button. There's a check box.

There's also this link that I just mentioned on the last page:

https://vborg.vbsupport.ru/showpost....0&postcount=38

It removes the option so that you don't have to rely on your mods to uncheck the box every time. :D

sure that work with 3.8.2?
for me no.. :(

1.5.1 works for me on 3.8.2 and 3.8.3

(installing now)

I would love to allow some trusted forum members to use this.

Is that possible? or do they have to be mods?

Any advice on this appreciated..

Thanks

Could you advise me what i need to change to change the default actions for some of the tick boxes? or even to remove the tick boxes and just have the "Decimator" button on a popup for easy two click banning; i dont wish for half of the boxes to be default. ie send the user an email etc etc ...

Should be a pretty simple template edit. Change the input type to "hidden" and set the value="0", should to the trick.

Does this mod still do a check on when a user registered before executing? Ive noticed that more and more spammers are registering, letting their accounts sit dormant until 30 days are up then coming in and spamming the forum. I see post count is now considered and I didnt see anywhere in the code where join date is still checked but I just glanced through it so I could have missed it.

Thanks

I help pull in the 3.8.4 version you installed MySQL but hit the spam button

I get this

Page Not Found! F38-imagenes-amateur/decimator.php

tell me that I do please

What template/file do I need to edit?

Also, for some weird reason, on my Spam Decimator install, the thanks page does not show. It just shows a blank white page upon clicking on the Decimator button. It does ban the user though and all other motions?

ANy ideas why it is whitescreening?

That's completely off the wall. I would recommend trying to reinstall because it's all contained in one template

digression, couple posts up, the template should be (if I remember correctly) decimator_main, that's the only template for the product.

Anyways, back to what I was saying, the entire thing is contained in that template, so if it got screwed up on install, that might explain it. Only thing I can think of off the top of my head.

Stared at this for a moment, what mod_rewrite extension are you running? If there's an exempt script from rewrite type option in it, add decimator.php into it.

I just found this product since I noticed it was used to kill a spam in one of my threads on vBSEO.com.

The above is a bad idea. Often times the email addresses used by spammers are not real, are temporary, and/or belong to an innocent 3rd party. What is going to happen is that you will be spamming innocent 3rd parties or at the very least increasing your email bounce rates to commonly used ISP's. This can eventually lead to all email from your server being blacklisted by those email providers and others who they share their data with too.

I've been using this for several years and never had a problem. It depends upon how your forum is set up. Mine are set up so that to post the person has to register and activate their registration (activation/verification email) to post, so it's a moot issue. If it's a fake email they won't be able to activate their registration to post anything.

If anything, I'm disappointed that the mod hasn't been updated. I'll really be disappointed if vB 4 kills it. It is a good mod and my moderators *love* it.

If you assume that the forum in question uses email verification (as all should) then the above is rubbish since they need to receive an activation email to be able to post.

The thing now is to prod RaidenDAWG2 into updating this mod.

When i delete my users who spam they still seem to remain partly in the system - they still have member profiles for example.

Is this how it is supposed to work or am i missing something?

banning is not deletion.

this add-on does not offer deletion.

so profile pages still are online.

It Bans the poster Permanently, but doesn't delete the user record. This is good because it blacklists the email address the spammer used (not that they don't have more than one email account, and assuming you use email activation/verification in your forum).

Edit add: As an aside, by keeping the user record it keeps the IP(s) so when investigating spammers it can help. I've used it to ban IPs when a bunch were coming from the same one.

You can use the user group options/permissions for banned users to do some stuff as well.

However, should this mod be updated I'm sure an option people would like would be one to delete the entire record.

how about integration with stopforumspam.com when a user is banned his details can be submitted to help other websites from same spammer ?

I got it setup on 3.8.4 but when I click the button I get a vB page saying I don't have permissions to access /decimator.php

any idea where I can fix that?

Go into vBulletin Settings->Spam Decimator Settings, make sure your user group ID number is entered in one of the fields.

It is, all the groups are still default. My primary is admin, moderator and super moderator as additional.. I get the spam button, which should indicate my group is okay.

It almost seems like some vB security setting. I tried changing file perms on decimator.php to see if that helps and it didn't.

Thanks for the quick response, seems like and awesome mod... now I just need to make it work. Also waiting from the mods there, perhaps it'll work for them and I'll not worry about it. I just manage the server and vB installation.

One of our Mods used it, so I'm guessing it's just my account.

man i love this plugin, i hope its updated for vBulletin 4!!!!
