how to get Spam-O-Matic API Key?? thru your forum??

When I mark post as "validate" (if it was incorrectly marked as spam), does spam-o-matic post it as ham to Akismet database ?

I'm having the same issue, where the post count of the set user in RSS Poster is not being honored. Letting you into the admincp would do little to help correct or debug this issue, but I'll dig through the code and see what I can find.

My speculation is that the RSS Poster Robot does not load any information of the set poster such as their post count.

The only work around that comes to mind is to modify Spam-O-Matic to verify the post count variable and if null, to get the post count from the userid itself.

Duplication is not hard...

1) Set up an RSS Feed with the following.
--- http://news.google.com/news?q=news&output=rss
--- Username: Anyone who has high post count and should NEVER be moderated.

2) In Spam-O-Matic Settings.
--- Auto-Moderation: Keywords -> Add "news"

3) Wait.. Anything with "news" in it will be put into moderation.

If this does duplicate the problem. Yay. Fix it.. :D
If not, let me know and I'll put up a dev forum and make sure that the problem is happening so that you can have full access and see exactly what is happening.

Spam-O-Matic doesn't have an API Key. Akismet and StopForumSpam have keys, you can get those on the associated websites.

No, that would not make a lot of sense I guess. If it does, it would be a bug to report. The only time users are submitted to Akismet is:

A) If you have submission enabled in your S-O-M settings.
B) If you delete posts as spam.

Thanks for the documentation. I will try to get this tested and figure out what the deal is.

Submitting spammer data to Stopforumspam.com won't work.
What to look?
thanks,

I'm having the same problem with all my RSS feed threads being moderated (all S-O-M versions including 1.2.8).

I have Akismet switched off in Spam-O-Matic.
RSS threads generated are being moderated on every occasion. Almost without exception, none of the words in 'Auto-Moderation: Keywords' appear in the thread.

Here are my settings for one of the RSS feeds:

Feed is Enabled: Yes
Title: BBC News Asia-Pacific
URL of Feed: http://feeds.bbci.co.uk/news/world/asia_pacific/rss.xml
Check Feed Every... 30 minutes
Maximum Items to Fetch: 0

Search Items for Words Only: Search Item Body: checked
User Name: (An Admin User with 500+ posts)
Forum: (A selected forum)
Allow Smilies : No
Display Signature: No
Convert HTML to BB Code: Yes
Title Template: {feed:title}

Body Template:Post Items as Threads: selected
Post Icons: (one icon selected)
Make Thread Sticky: No
Moderate Thread: No
Thread Action Delay (Hours): 0
Unstick Sticky Thread After Delay: No
Close Thread After Delay: No
Post Items as Announcements: not selected
(last two announcement options n/a)


Relevant Spam-O-Matic settings are:

Auto-Moderation: Enabled
Auto-Moderation: Minimum Post Count: 5
Auto-Moderation: URL Count: 0
Auto-Moderation: Post Action: Moderate Post


Hope that helps.

A separate issue and further suggestion:

In functions_ghsom.php, the modcp directory is hard coded twice:

Line 317: "../modcp/banning.php?do=banuser&u='.$user['userid'].'"
Line 562: "modcp/moderate.php?do=posts"


Many people opt to change the name of their admincp and modcp directories. Without altering the code above, they'll get 404 errors when the above lines are executed.

Perhaps 'modcp' should be replaced with something equivalent to:

{$vbulletin->config[Misc][modcpdir]}



Great mod by the way. Got my vote last month. :up:

Great mod.

Thanks for the detailed information maokaang

I have not been able to get any RSS hits on the 2.0 beta version that we are testing but I am going to plug your settings in there to be sure.

Thanks for the vote and kind words. I will also look into those hardcoded modcp URLs.
