I'm sorry Glow, but this confused me a bit. Are you saying that what is in the database is automatically submitted to stopforumspam.com at some point? Or, are you saying it was already in the database at stopforumspam.com?

I think my second guess is probably right, and that makes sense. I was thinking that the addon did some sort of checking internally to determine that the email address was 'bad', but now that I think about it, it's probably coming from the stopforumspam.com database.

So yea, I guess I answered my own question ;)

After the upgrade to 4.1.8, we also got the blank page problem that blocks posts. How to fix the issue and how to avoid it in the future?

This is a great product but it is having a conflict with bbcode for mp3s

anyone have any idea how to fix?

Just to followup on liltiger's post:

We installed the mp3 bb code and after submitting a post get this error message:

Warning: require_once(includes/functions_ghsom.php) [function.require-once]: failed to open stream: No such file or directory in [path]/includes/class_dm_threadpost.php(758) : eval()'d code on line 17

Fatal error: require_once() [function.require]: Failed opening required 'includes/functions_ghsom.php' (include_path='.:/usr/lib/php:/usr/local/lib/php') in /home/skiervil/public_html/testvb/includes/class_dm_threadpost.php(758) : eval()'d code on line 17

By disabling Spam-O-Matic - we could add an mp3 file. re-enabling it and get the same error message. One that was added with it disabled is still there.

Actually - it makes posting anything impossible.

sorry for all the posts, testing like mad here.
all these problems happened on a test version of the site we built.

Not having any problems on the real site, and the mp3 bbcode player is working.

Perhaps we just need to re-install spam-o-matic in the test site. Right now it's a consistent problem that if it's enabled we get the above error message on any post attempt.

Problem solved FYI. Somehow functions_ghsom.php got deleted during some install we were doing, don't know how.

Once I copied it back into the includes folder the test site works again.

Good idea, its been added to the todo list.

I can't say when it will be. If we had people willing to pay for code then it would be done faster but its currently being developed only when we have free time to spare.

Ok, this was added to the list as well.

If after installing this mod, would it be necessary to install either of these other two?

vB Bad Behavior (vB4) 1.0.5

Ban Spiders by User Agent 3.0.3

I would and have

Certainly. I use vb BB.

Thanks! :up:

This, plus getting it to work with Social Groups would be great for version 2.5.

Open the plugin forumhome_complete in the GlowHost - Spam-O-Matic modification and at the very top, add:
At the very bottom, add:
This will make the stats viewable only to Administrators

The first time I tried, I got this "Importing Product, Please Wait..." and waiting for hours without completion

the second time I tried it, I got this error

Hi,
Since installing this mod every time a user joins up (if not spammer) it says "Sent to vBulletin Registration System" but the user is then sat in the (COPPA) Users Awaiting Moderation primary usergroup rather than registered user. Am I missing some config for this mod as I can't see anywhere in the mod to alter the group it places users in.

Cheers in advance.

check coppa settings in mod and normal settings in options

Cant see anything in the options for this, we dont even use COPPA in VB and its turned off.

Any other ideas, dont want to dump it if I can help it.

have you checked the settings in this mod as you have it turned on some where

Please consider to add Bad Behavior to SOM.

Its the one thing that is missing. vB BB works well, but the developer doesn't have the time to keep it up to date.

Excellent mod! Works for 4.1.8.

So, I cannot absolutely attribute this to your mod, but I installed it on 4.1.8 a few days ago and some of my new users are not being registered correctly...Infact, they are showing up as guests...However, guests are not supposed to be allowed to post (per permissions), and although their user names show in the newbies usergroup via the adminCP, none of their info (even email or username) is viewable in the user view of the adminCP....Kinda not good on my live forum...

The users that show of as guests show they cleared the system and got sent to registration, and they show as recently registered...

"Passed StopForumSpam checks. Sent to vBulletin Registration System."

I've noticed a problem, what happens to Users Waiting Email Confirmation usergroup !?
I no longer can see which users have confirmed their email or not....
is there any way to put this mod working only after user confirms email and not right after registering !?!?

Edit: sorry, saw someone earlier found this issue... it would really be great to still be able to have users confirming their email, just for validation as i receive many many registrations with wrong/invalid email.

Is this going to be updated for 4.1.7 and 4.1.8? After upgrading to 4.1.7, this doesn't work half as good as it did on 4.1.5...

Thanks

Hello

I think there is an small bug. When settings default usergroup for newbies.

Newbies Manager: Newbies Group ID
The group ID that new users will be put into immediately after successfully registering.

What is successful registration?
I have set email verification as first step.
So, my successful registration comes when the newcomer confirms his email.

But Spam-O-Matic moves the newcomer to Newbies Group ID without waiting for email confirmation. And should have move after email confirmation.

My mistake. This was reported several. Any fix or workaround?

How do I delete those 'web hosting' links in the footer of my forum??

remove them from the stop o matic options

.. Considering I currently have 2000+ posts awaiting moderation, I'd say that the effectiveness has fallen dramatically.

Anyone else experiencing this? :)

Oh, should mention.. this accumulated over a few days. Even had to ban newbies from commenting on blogs since they can't be spam-o-matified, and the bots were posting there...

Seems to be working ok... ¿Anyway to see the: "15 Spammers Denied Registration"?

I leave one web hosting link on my footer

Thanks for this mode.

This is a great mod - we've been using it for a while now, and it's saved us a lot of time!

We are now fine-tuning and trying to reduce the # of legitimate users that are being blocked. The first thing we've done is to turn off the username check - we had one user recently with username 'Jack' that was blocked due to his username matching on SFS..

My question is: what is the easiest way to Lift a Ban on a user? I see them listed in the log file, but I'm not finding any way to release them from the user ban..

Do I just have to go to ACP > Users > Add new user - and manually create their account?

Thanks!

I think I found the answer to my own question; since no user account is created when a user is 'blocked' by spamomatic - there is no way to 'lift the ban'

Any suggestions for another approach to this that would involve lest steps than manually creating user accounts for legitimate users?

Thanks

Turn off username checking. Since bots use fairly common names sometimes, real people will get blocked. Just keep IP and email address checking on, turn on human verification in your VB settings and ask a simple question.

The best plugin on my forum after vBSEO :) Waiting for the next version ;)

Hi I'm new :)

And I'm getting these errors after a relatively new installation of 4.1.8.

The only add on I have added is GlowHost Spam-O-matic

GlowHost Spam-O-matich logs
Warning: require_once() [function.require-once]: Unable to access ../upload/admincp/global.php in /home/sitename/public_html/admincp/glowhostspamomatic.php on line 11

Fatal error: require_once() [function.require]: Failed opening required '../upload/admincp/global.php' (include_path='.:/usr/lib/php') in /home/sitename/public_html/admincp/glowhostspamomatic.php on line 11

And on the CP I get these

Tags
Parse error: syntax error, unexpected T_STRING in /home/sitename/public_html/admincp/tag.php on line 585

Manage content priority
Parse error: syntax error, unexpected T_STRING in /home/sitename/public_html/admincp/sitemap.php on line 180

Rebuild sitemap
Parse error: syntax error, unexpected T_STRING in /home/sitename/public_html/admincp/sitemap.php on line 180

But even if I disable the GlowHost pluggin I still get the last three errors. And there doesn't look anything too suspiscious on line 180.

I've renamed the admincp to another name (not shown above) but I updated that value to the correct one in glowhostspamomatic.php on line 11

Any ideas?

it says you dont have the file uploaded to your admincp folder uploading the file will fix the problem

Hi, thanks for the reply.

I had a typo above. Yes the file glowhostspamomatic.php is uploaded and in the correct folder. I renamed that folder on install for security but have updated the filename on line 11 so that it matches the correct structure.

Not sure why the xml is being impacted?

I keep having problems whit my forum.
When i try to delete post and its activated the Spam-O-Matic it give these error

I need a way to fix it

Does it work with VB 4.1.8 and up?
I get errors when importing it:

Replace TYPE=MyISAM to ENGINE=MyISAM in the xml file it is MySQL variable which changed from this version i run.
Thank U

try uninstalling the plugin and reinstalling it again see if that fixes the problem
