I believe I have the program set to moderate posts from spammers , and it says it is moderating them . But I have 0 moderated post . Wrong Settings ? thanks

I have used this add-on for years. Prior to Dec 2017, it was stopping numerous spammer account registration attempts. Since late last year, I have only a handful of registrations blocked according to my Glowhost logs.

Anyone else noticed the add-on activity dropping to almost zero? I've made no major changes during that time frame in terms of my site.

More and more here - zero responses when posting questions :(

I found this plugin ceased being effective years ago. Spambots can create accounts faster than any software can identify and block them. The most effective spam protection I've found is still the Question And Answer combined with the banning of free e-mail addresses. A lot of administrators don't like to block freemail providers like outlook, google, yahoo, aol, etc. but those are what spambots use. Spammers do not pay for e-mail addresses.

I appreciate the insight - but I'm trying to figure out why this add-on stopped functioning (regardless of how effective it is)? Prior to the October-December 2017 timeframe, it was blocking hundreds of attempted registrations per day. It began dwindling to just a few a week in Jan 2018 and now the logs show zero registrations blocked.

Hard to answer since I don't use it any longer. Are you having a large number of spam accounts getting by it? Maybe they found a way around it.

No. That's the weird part. I've not had a single spam registration, but the GlowHost add-on appears to have completely stopped working.

Better ask on their site.

It is still working for me, thankfully. It logged 37 rejections yesterday! Spamming was getting so bad I wondered if my site was going to survive! Could it could be a server issue. A few years ago I changed virtual servers, and chose GlowHost because they wrote Spam-O-Matic.
Perhaps other hosts are upgrading things that are stopping the program from working properly, while GlowHost is being more careful?

My site is an automotive related site, the only registration that comes by regularily is one where they register with BMW in a field I call "Cars I Own". There is occasionally a post attempt with the registration.

Working for me too. I have it running along side reCaptcha mod. Now, the reCaptcha seems to be stopping most and so the numbers I see stopped in GlowHost Spam-o-matic is much less, but I do still see a few now and them. Running 4.2.5 by the way.
