arrived here hoping to see it updated for vb4 as well.

Nice mod ..Thx..Installed

4.0?????????????

vB4 comes with most of this default, only just realised last week.

Check attachments

Can I report a bug please?
If you decimate a spammer and one of their posts in a thread gets soft deleted, if it's the last post in a forum, in the FORUMDISPLAY view, the post is still displayed.
The first attachment shows the post deleted at the bottom of the thread.
The second attachment shows the post still visible on the forum display. This is as viewed by people without permissions to see that post.
This functionality is actually in later versions of 3.8, but it doesn't do as much as the spam decimator. It doesn't send the spammers an email, for example, which is something we take great satisfaction in doing.

vb4 still requires multiple clicks and page updates to clean up the mess. and if the spammer has posted 50 posts... you have to take more steps. i miss this plugin in vb4...

Roll back to vBulletin 3 then. It has hundreds fewer bugs and is more efficient with the database. Why anyone is downgrading to vB4 is beyond me.

hehehe... i thought about doing that. but in the end... if i have to continue using vb i would have to update to v4 eventually.

if vb4 does not get any better than vb3.x.x in the coming months (or a year or two)... i would probably think about changing the platform once again.

i moved to vb from ipb... won't mind doing it all over again... for now i am pretty disappointed with what i did not get from vb4. :)

There is the option to delete all posts by user.

I had a spammer post about 15 posts on my board and i removed him and banned him in about 10 seconds.

the problem is magnified if spammer has posted more than 50 posts.

That is configurable through AdminCP settings, you can up the limit if you like.

Folks, I apologize for the lack of progress on converting this to vB4. To make a long story short, I've taken a new job with long hours and I barely have the time to convert my own site over, let alone this mod. If any coder wants to take over the mod, please just PM to give me a heads up.

ooh cool. so there is a remote possibility that it would be updated for vb4... cool :)

some other plugins have no such hope :(

But I miss the one-click, auto-move threads. :rolleyes:

Anyone using the Spam Decimator on VB 4?

is there a working version for vb4?

vbseo.com uses this hack (i think) .. :)

What happens if the spammer doesn't post? I have gotten bombarded with spam registrations over the past 3 days. I ban them before they have a chance to post. But I have to do all of this through ACP manually.

Is there any way to use spam decimator on the user before they post?

I'd look at using a different plugin if you want to automatically block them ..

Ok, would you have a suggestion? If it's a competitor, can you PM me, so as not to upset the dev for this one?

Thank you

I'm using these two:
https://vborg.vbsupport.ru/showthread.php?t=198440
https://vborg.vbsupport.ru/misc.php?...stopforumspam4

I'm on VB4 but there might be VB3.* versions available

Ok, I'm trying that vbstopforumspam one. This is getting crazy on my site. As soon as I ban a spambot reg. A brand new one follows right behind it.

That would be the one I use as well. This add-on was really designed to be a reactive thing to clean up spam after it happens, not prevent it.

Could this use on vb 3.8?

Yes, this was designed to work with both 3.7.x and 3.8.x.

I can not find this setting.
Could you please help me where to change this?

Thanks.

vbseo developers have already modified the plugin for vb4 and they use it on their own forums. they cannot release it because the plugin is not in open source and they cannot release your work in their name. i wish you can give them the permission to release the modified version that works with vb4! thanks.

^ What sushub said.. Can this be released for vB4 please?

This works on vB4 because I see that vBSEO.com is using it on their forums....SO I think it might work on vb4

they have made changes to the extension to make it work on vb4. they cannot release it on their own because the extension is not open source. (i did ask them and they refused).

is anyone using this mod on VB 3.8.7?

I gave a couple people permission to release updated versions, one recently, one a while back. Honestly, I have zero time to work on this right now, I'm okay with just about anyone rereleasing it for 4.0, just give me a heads up that it's out there.

My original was based on someone else's idea originally, I can't be too upset if someone does the same with mine :)

I'm currently working on an updated version of this modification. Raiden has given me the permission to release it here. I think today or tomorrow (tuesday) i can release the first beta.

i've wait a new version for 4.0

I use it on 3.8.5 -
