Is there any way to undo a delete of a member done in error, He had over 15,000 Threads & Post, vast amounts of info. One of our Admins did unknowingly. Please help me out, Thanks, Tim

^ I doubt this plugin did that. By default, after 30 days I think it is, accounts become protected against its use.

Nope - someone used the regular delete function... cue horror music! :eek:

You might want to speak to whoever hosts your board. Maybe, you can retreive it from the database. I doubt it though.

Yep, I will install a backup of my site from this morning then, no problem...Thanks for your help though.

I backup my site 2 times a day, plus my host backs it up every day....

Our site has tried to take a stance to remove barriers of entry by not currently implementing captcha and email authentication. So far (knock on wood) we've been very fortunate to have a low rate of spam among our 2,000+ active users but a tool like this certainly helps when one does creep in.

I've been using http://www.stopforumspam.com as a means to validate and report spam on my site and while manual today, has been quite useful. It basically is a central database of known username, email and IPs that have been connected to SPAM behavior. They do have an API, however, for PUTs and GETs which could automate the process.

What do you guys think about implementing a hook into One-Touch (or potentially a new mod altogether perhaps?).. I'm imagining it could work one of many ways:

1) Regular cron that updates the Ban or restrict IP , usernmae or email with known Spammers
2) On registration a check is made against IP, email and/or username and based on configuration can block or add to a different user group.
3) On post a check is made against IP, email and/or username and based on configuration can block or require moderation of the post.
4) When a SPAM user or Post does make it through and you need to Ban via One Touch, the details of the user information are sent to the central database so that other forum members can benefit by the early detection.

This mod definitely looks like quality stuff, I only wish I could use it.
I have MySQL 4.0.27, a fact which I now regret, but as I am a little hesitant to go upgrading the database of my live site for fear of having the whole thing crash, I had to find an alternative to One-touch.

I found the Spam Decimator mentioned earlier in this thread, and it actually works with earlier versions of MySQL. It also says that it is a vB 3.5 plug, but it seems to work ok with my 3.6.8 forum.

So just an FYI to those that find they are unable to use this fine plug, there is another that will work. :)

FYI, I went from 4.0.27 to 5.x as part of a Host move recently with no ill effects. Set up a test server and do a dry run of the import before you do your live site and you just may be ok.

Hi, looks like promising. Will give it a try soon.

One question though. Is it possible to give an option to input preset password to confirm deletetion. I dont want to see delete member with 15.000 posts by accident, or if someone gets into forum with admin account to make unrevertable damage.

sounds good.

Thanks for the top mod.

Installed - Thanks!

It's working great in user's profile, but I don't see the link in postbit.

Plz help. Thanks

Help please. I had to use this hack this morning on a PM spammer. They got 1500 PMs out before I caught it. So, they are all deleted now, but my users are still seeing a message that they have 1 New message, but when they go to their PM box there's nothing there. How can I remove the message for them?

This looks absolutely perfect for dealing with unwanted spammers, the satisfaction of removing all their handiwork in less time than it took them to create all the spam in the first place is incredible.

I note that in the settings you can specify your 'Banned' usergroup ID, could a different usergroup be applied here -- as in 'Miserable', rather than 'Banned', in order to make their lives totally miserable from this point on?

It would be great if a report of the deleted user could be posted to a specified forum :)

Hi all,

sounds like a great mod, but I can not install it. My server is hosted by 1&1, europes biggest webhoster and they do have MySQL 4.0.25 at the moment. Is there any chance you could update this mod for earlier MySQL versions?

anyone?

Installed it at 6pm last night (AEST) and first spammer detected and spam banned and cleaned at 6:15pm (AEST). Worked like a dream. All my moderators love it. Excellent work!

What makes this not compatible with the 4.0.24-nt-max version of MySQL? I can't use it because of that :(

This looks very nice indeed, but I have a question about this before I install it. Do this modification require admins and mods to be logged into their admin/mod cps in order for the banning and thread/post deleting to take place? Or as long as the usergroup permission matches, no extra login is needed? Thanks in advance.

Same here. 3.6.8 PL2

Dear
hello
I'm banned user
automatic banned IP?

This should make cleanup after a spammer easier. Thanks. :)

An issue that we've seen.

If you try to "one touch ban" from a user's name in the postbit, it tries to ban the 1st poster in the thread, not the user whose name you've clicked on.

Obviously, it's the wrong variable is being used.

arn

something needs to be added!

Look at the pic! i pointed it out!

seriouly a great mod...thanks a lot m8!!

Any ideas why we are getting this message when trying to run?

It's been running flawlessly for ages...

Edit - admin error - one of the admins gave public access to the tool and Google/Yahoo was hitting the link and deleting everyone. :o

Please see my edit above - it turns out someone (admin?) changed one of the templates and allowed anonymous access to the tool.

I've removed it just in case, which is unfortunate as it's a great product.

Just goes to show tools like this are powerful and need to be given to Mods only!

Installed and works like a charm.

Thnx!

I see it now! It's set for users that have registered in less than 30 days.

Hi, i tried to install the following product but i get this error message.

The following dependencies were not met:

1. This product is not compatible with version 4.0.16-standard-log of MySQL. (Compatible starting with 4.1)

Thanks

How come i never ran across this mod? Thanks for your quality works Mark!

very beatiful add-on. thanks.

GREAT! thanks best tool out there

This is an excellent idea...downloaded and installed.

I haven't had the need to use it, as of yet, but just wanted you to know that installation went perfectly with no errors. I'm currently running vB 3.6.8 PL2.

I'm sure my Moderators will love this...making their job so much easier.

I also nominated this for MOTM.

Very nice job!

Terrific mod, thanks for making it.

Unfortunately the link only shows up on the member's profile, and not in the the drop-down on the postbit as shown in the screenshot. Any reasons on why this might be happening?

Can you please fix the addon so it will work with MySQL > 4.0.16 the same as VBulletin requirements?

installed and works like a charm!!! i just converted from phpBB so i won't know what to do after i get rid of all my spammers. i might be sad.

Hey man i 2nd this i have the same issue and cannot install.
