wow, I installed this just about 2 days ago and it's logged 324 entries so far. I had no clue that much crap was trying to log on to my site. That's over 150 a day, while my previous spam counter measures stopped all except about 10 a day, those 10 were really starting to cause issues. So again, thanks for this very cool mod.

But I do have 1 question, I haven't looked into it real hard yet but every since I installed this mod and one other spam mod that creates a question during registration. My own bot which posts a few GSS feeds to my site now needs to be moderated to be approved and it wasn't like that before. Again, I haven't looked into it real hard yet but if somebody has a simple answer, I would appreciate it.

WOW, in the last 4 minutes it blocked 8 Spammer Bots etc.... This thing works Magics!

hi,

I found a small innocent bug this code in /admincp/glowhostspamomatic.php

should be

$stylevar['right'] is deprecated in vb 4
great hack already stopped six spammers :up:

After about three hours I'm very pleased. Here's my first impressions:

1. I require user names; For me a lot of the robots don't submit one. If SOM knew this it would be less trips to SFS.
2. Log entries should use phases; In my case I'd be reducing the verbiage greatly (i.e. "No Username Submitted" would become "None" and "Spammer Found and rejected." would become "rejected")
3. I would love the option to have a logfile. That'd give the ability to use Fail2Ban to close the firewall to the robot for a time if they're persistent.

Thanks for the good work!

Thank you for this :)

I was going out of my mind continually banning IP's but this has quickly solved all my problems.

Thanks very much, working a treat so far, and since the re-captcha has been hacked i advise all board owners to install this mods.

Cheers for your efforts

I installed this hack a couple months ago... but never commented in this thread. This hack has all but removed ALL spam from my forum.. up until a day ago when recaptcha was broken. Since installing this.. until a day ago... I had 0 spam at all!!! THIS mod is HUGE for preventing spam! Now... with the addition to another recent mod for asking specific questions.. I don't expect to have much. THANK YOU!! 5 stars!

Hi just to let you know I have tested it on the beta 1 and I just get an error as below when a user logs out.

Can I suggest adding a 'report user' link to member profiles?

Can anyone confirm that the previous issues with forums that have modified MOD and AdminCP folder names is resolved ?
