the point i am making is that api.stopforumspam.org url has not been down for me
whilst many report stopforumspam.com being down, the other is still active
so its more reliable

*sigh* No it's not.

how you timestamp

please read posts, many say that stopforumsspam.com api is down alot
when i check my logs i find that the api from, api. ******* . org
is still working and blocking spammers

i could show you timestamps / screenshots where people say its down and let people register, which the logs will report if it allows reg if down

as i said i havent had 1 issue with that url for the api

And I have no issues with the other URL. And, for at least the third time, pedigree has stated that BOTH URLs GO TO THE SAME PLACE... same server, same site, same database.

Just because a URL is inaccessible from one geographical location or IPS does not mean that others can't reach it. That's the nature of DNS.

Please add a function to recheck accounts later if the SFS is down.

That seems rather impractical to me. What do you do with new registrations in the meantime? Keep them on hold? I certainly would never enable a feature like that.

There was talk of this being updated to check the stopforumspam database again when they went to make their first post. It is often the case that spammers sign up to forums but wait a few days or weeks before starting the posting and by then they may be on the database if they were not before.

Sorry if this has been asked, but I can't find it. I'm on VB 4.2.x and when I go to upload this script I get this error:

Yep it has been asked before. A lot actually.

Try this:

There used to be something in my user manager to check users. Some sort of box to submit the name, ip, and email address to vbforumstopspam database.

I don't see it there anymore. Any ideas why?

thanks!!
