Its a plugin in your browser I guess. Its nothing to do with the mod in vbulletin.

Hey Skippy,

Consider it done then for April! I know I've been posting this Mod on other forums every chance I get. If a couple of us do that, people will install it and then see how good it really is. ;)


Hey Pedigree,

Yeah, I understand that you aren't allowed to rally people to vote, but this Mod is well worth it and then some to us who use it. I have thousands of spammers now in my logs and I've only been using this mod for a couple of months. It seems to me that the people who install it and use it could ralley for you. ;)

Btw, I knew you mentioned you were working on another update, and that's great! You'll get to it when you get to it, and I think most people know how valuable your times is too, so don't fret. It'll come. ;)

I wanted to ask you something to - Would you mind if I posted a link to your mod on my forum? I'm thinking of creating a mod section in one of the moduels in the left column. I'd love to post this one as the leading mod.


Mary

thank you. works great with 3.8.1

mmurtha, you post away :)

nice then I will install it

Has anyone else begun experiencing an inordinate amount of legitimate AOL members attempting to register on their sites, but the mod "bags" them as spammers?

Almost every one from AOL seems to get stopped because their IP address is in the database.

Is there a reason for this I'm missing?

Sure creates some unhappy campers and a lot of manual work adding them later after they complain and you find out they're legit.

Do the spammers have access to blocks of IP addresses that AOL uses and that's why we're seeing this?

Thanks for any feedback.... great mod btw ... :up:

I do not see this in my environment, but each of our niches draws different users. If this creates a impact for you, you can set StopForumSpam from blocking on IP and still catch a number of spammers (31% of all blocked spammers on my site are from username (21%) and email (10%)

I think I'll try that and see what happens ... :)

Thanks for the advice....

AOL forces most of its users out via proxy servers. As AOL do practically nothing to curtail spammers, innocents users are being caught up in that mess. If youre an AOL user, I think youll have to come to expect trouble in the future, not just for the sfs database but from projecthoneypot, spamhaus etc etc etc.

Any reason this wont work on 3.6.0? I tried installing it on a test board and it seemed to work fine.
