Im just in the final stages of the statistics/reporting engine but baby, work and travel are getting on top of me at the moment. I have a couple of weeks leave coming up so Im hopeful

Wow, that's really stupid. This is one of the most essential mods on here!

Personally, it has cut down more than half of my usual spammer volume, all automatically. That saves me and my team a LOT of time. Since time is something we can't replace, and misplaced attention is costly, I just sent you $50 as a thank you. In reality, you deserve more, but I hope the rest of the community starts pitching in, too.

You might want to consider charging for a version of this one (a deluxe version or a commercial key for those make money with their forum?) It might be great to get picked up by vbulletin.com itself. That $55/yr Akismet thing they have on there doesn't do anything useful compared to this. People mostly get false positives w/that one.

Honestly, it really sort of teed me off that I upgraded from my forum in large part to get access to Akismet, only to have it work against against us. Thankfully, your mod rocks, and is part of a total solution to the very real problem spammers bring. Thank you. Thank you!! :)

Wow, thats fantasic, thanks! I never expected that anyone would donate and $50 is fantasic. This is great motivation and Im going to get stuck into the code again right now.

To address your points, yeah, charging could make me some more money, it certainly would be good but I think I just hate spammers more. Im hoping that people will see value for money in the plugin and see that value in a donation. Im working as a developer on sfs at the moment and working to get the next version of the api set out so that we can really take it to people. We are giving serious though to limiting some of the biggest users as there are some hitting the API several thousand times a day but for people with forums like you and me, its still going to be free.

Thank you again, you made my day

Where are the use registration logs stored for users who were prevented from registering?

FYI I have this installed on 3.7.4 and everything seems to work other than:

A) I have no idea to see if it is working because I cannot find the logs
2) From install.txt This does not appear to be an option in 3.7.4

You need to read the thread a bit more but I admit, thats a bit hard as its 22 pages long. The logs are in the admincp, statistics & logs / vbstopforumspam logs. Ill edit the first post and detail one bugs that is easily fixed and detail this issue

if its not there, and as you cant find the usergroup options (that dont work in 0.61,. I jumped the gun) then I dont think you uploaded the files in the "upload" folder.

1) he did not uploaded the bitfield XML file to /includes/xml

2) he did not rebuilded his bitfields /admincp/index.php?do=buildbitfields

buildbitfields, that was the command I was looking for, thanks delphi :) 0.7 doesnt use them but if I delete them, it trashes the usergroup management until bitfields are rebuilt so I was looking at the easiest way to do it automatically inside the script

Thanks for your response. Have you tried this on 3.7.4?

The logs you mention do not show up for me in this version.

Per he install.txt
They make no mention of the images and includes directories. However, I have in fact uploaded the files in admincp to the admincp dir, the images to the images dir, and the includes to the includes dir.

So either I botched the install somehow, or its not compatible with 3.7.4 OR not compatible with some of the mods I have on here but I don't see why at the very least the menu option for " admincp, statistics & logs / vbstopforumspam logs" would not be generated since none of the mods I have in here should effect side nav in admincp.

if you have an "upload" folder in the root of your install, then yes, you uploaded the folder instead of its contents. If you go to register (do it yourself) youll get an error if you uploaded the "upload" folder and not its contents. THe easist thing to do is FTP to your server, drag the contents of the upload folder to the root, this will put the files into the rights folders

yes, it works in 3.7.4

the fact that thats a 404 page makes me think you havent uploaded the files correctly

I definately do not have an upload folder in there and I do understand the concept of which files belong where. I am going to try to re-install the files and see how it goes. Nice catch on the images thing.
