vb.org Archive - Anti-Spam Options - [GlowHost] Spam-O-Matic

First, thank you for this great plugin. It has helped tremendously! Also, sorry if this has already been mentioned in this thread, I tried searching but this thread has 200+ pages...

I was still getting posts through even though there were some words listed in my bad words list. Turns out, spammers may be smart after all because these words were in a post's title not the pagetext (body) of the post and checking the source I saw this conditional:

Code:

if (str_replace($keywords, '', strtolower($this->fetch_field('pagetext', 'post'))) != strtolower($this->fetch_field('pagetext', 'post'))&& !can_moderate()) {

So it's only checking the body of the post. To add in the title, I changed it to:

Code:

if (

    (

        str_replace($keywords, '', strtolower($this->fetch_field('pagetext', 'post'))) != strtolower($this->fetch_field('pagetext', 'post'))

        ||

        str_replace($keywords, '', strtolower($this->fetch_field('title', 'post'))) != strtolower($this->fetch_field('title', 'post'))

    )

    && !can_moderate()

) {

Now it will catch keywords in the title also. So far no reports of issues (other than some false positives with my aggressive bad words entries).

Hi,

The best mod by far and i have donated !

Can you add an option so that its easier to select multiple spammers and submit them all at once ?

Yesterday i got spammed 175 times !!! even with the new recapcha installed and i had to go into each user and submit them one by one via the drop down option: Spam-O-Matic - Remove and Ban User

Possible new feature:

ACP>Users>"Prune/ Move Users" and then "Action:" at the bottom of the page when you have filtered the users you want click Spam-O-Matic - Remove and Ban User all at once (also no need to click the link to confirm)

I just need a quick and easy way to select multiple users and do the following:

- submit user details to Akismet database
- submit user details to StopForumSpam.com database
- remove the user
- remove the user threads
- remove the user posts
- remove the user PMs
- remove the user calendar events

Please can this feature be added, im sure many people would like it a lot ! :)

Hello,

I installed this and it's greatly helping to prevent the amount of spam I'm receiving... thanks for that!

However, the bots are getting around this by pasting the url in the thread title like this:

Title: http://theirdumbspamsite.com/some-page/
Post: garbage spam

Is there anyway to block new threads, or queue them for moderation, if they contain "http://" or something similar in the thread title? No normal users use "http://" in the thread titles, 100% of the time it's spam.

Thanks

you'd think it'd be easy enough to censor titles only, but i'm unable to find anything...

I get the following error on install, how can I fix?

Code:

Database error in vBulletin 4.2.3:

L.E. I have found the issue. Was caused by a different wrong PHPMyAdmin encoding for database tables, other then the ones existing.

Lately, some threads are not being moderated, but the post still is. This is leaving threads live even though the posts are being moved to moderation as they should. Any idea what is causing this?

In other words, in Activity or a Sub Forum view users can still click on the thread, which takes them to nothing, really, because the first post of the thread is indeed correctly moderated. Happens about 20-30% of the time lately. Getting dozens a day.

I had this installed on my forum and it was exploited (filestore72.info redirect). Just an FYI, especially since it no longer appears to be a supported plugin.
