vB 4.2.0 PL 2


went with a different product to cure my spammer block requirements
Did you have check user name enabled? What system did you switch to?

imported_dfmafia 07-07-2012 08:28 PM
random questions and advanced registration system - works for keeping bots at bay

yes, check username was enabled

That was what was causing the issue. When I disabled that and only had IP Address and e-mail address enabled it worked perfect.

I have the VSA Advanced Registration mod and I love it. It does work for keeping bots at bay, but it doesn't work for blocking IP addresses, and e-mails.

imported_dfmafia 07-07-2012 10:50 PM
I'll give it another go.
site still in work but taking registrations now as i clean up styles.

thnx for the assist. uername is disabled but ip and email are enabled.

are there still issues with KeyCAPTCHA? full stats never showed on the WGO for me at anytime. just Spammers Denied Registration.

I'm not sure about the keyCAPTCA, as I don't use it. However, the stats for GlowHost only shows, "Spammers Denied Registration" and "Number of spam posts moderated" if that feature is turned on.

You may not have everything set up correctly. There are a lot of little things to do as in making a new usergroup for new members, setting the amount of posts that are moderated, etc. I set the moderated post to 2 because it moderates everything. In other words the first two posts are moderated even if they are legitimate posts. Kind of a pain, and I may set it to just the first post. Normally the first post is all you need to know if they are a spammer or not. You of course have to turn off links, signatures, etc on the new member, but this gives you the opportunity to look at the user profile or have the mods look at the profile for you. Setting up e-mails about new registrations to the mods takes care of this for you.

To make this work with the existing StopForumSpam API key from Spam-O-Matic, I changed the following in your code:

To:

PHP Code:
if ($vbulletin->options["glowhostspamomatic_apikey"])
...
<input name="api_key" type="hidden" value="' . $vbulletin->options['glowhostspamomatic_apikey'] .    '"> 
Just replacing vbstopforumspam_apikey with glowhostspamomatic_apikey. That seems to work.

Thanks! This helps out my moderators quite a lot.

XtremeCrash 07-09-2012 02:15 AM
Still dosnt work for me.Ive has it installed for the past week an still no stats in WGO box.

glowhostspamomatic_log
glowhostspamomatic_remotecache
glowhostspamomatic_stats

There may have been an error in the upload of the mod.
Checked the databases and there wasn't any of those tables. How do I get them?

BoardWizard 07-10-2012 03:18 PM
nevermind i found them in the databases but they are still not in the adminCP

That is really strange. I haven't run across that before. Maybe someone with a little more knowledge can help you out on that.

You say that they are not showing in the AdminCP. You mean in the log files are not showing, or the information is not showing on the WGO area?

ForceHSS 07-11-2012 01:56 PM
Make yourself superadmin from the config so you can see all

BoardWizard 07-12-2012 07:29 PM
under statistics & logs where spam-o-matic log is supposed to be, there is only Statistics, Control Panel Log, Moderator Log, Scheduled Task Log, Log Manager, Transaction Log and Transaction Stats
i made myself a superadmin and it was still not there

In the cofig.php make sure you have the following permissions set for your User ID #:

USERS WITH ADMIN LOG VIEWING PERMISSIONS

SUPER ADMINISTRATORS

There are a couple of others you may want to check as well. If you have the Log Viewing Permissions set, then you should be able to see it. Refresh system cache if you need to.

add your id to all of them that will let you see everything

BoardWizard 07-13-2012 12:52 PM
i really have no idea why this isn't working. i've done everything you guys have suggested

selfsufficient 07-17-2012 02:13 AM
I installed Spam-o-matic on my new forum and started getting "white screen" when hitting the "go advanced" button when posting.

I worked out (after about an hour) that when disabling Akismet in the CP the white screen problem was resolved. I followed the install instructions - have I done something wrong?

Also, I have two links side-by-side "Web hosting Web Hosting" in my footer link bar, why two?

Cheers :)

ForceHSS 07-17-2012 03:02 AM
You can remove the web hosting links see settings for the plugin near the bottom of it you will see

selfsufficient 07-17-2012 03:35 AM
Right got it - thanks!

Just to update on my "white screen" issue, it seems the problem might be more than Akismet and likely my own misunderstanding of my host server. I'm waiting on a relpy from my host to see if in fact I need to "apply" for allow_url_fopen - I know they have it but I'm now not sure if it's enabled.
If allow_url_fopen is not enabled by default, that could be the real cause of my white screen on posting.

MediaHound 07-17-2012 02:32 PM
There is a setting for "Auto-Moderation: URL Count".
Does this check URLs posted in the vb blogs also?
Seems spammers are still able to post links in blogs.
The blog spam that vb attracts is just horrible and makes the admins waste so much time dealing with it. We need better tools to stop blog spam.

imported_dfmafia 07-17-2012 11:08 PM
i set my newbies usergroup to not access blog

newbies with 10 posts will be moved to registered usergroup and now have access to blog.

this stopped my spam

Blogs are not checked with this plugin it does need updated as you cant even send the spammer info to spam o matic forums

I've integrated my WP with vB. A thread is made in vB for every post in make in WordPress. If I add the usergroup which automatically makes threads in vB as an exception in Spam-O-Matic, will it allow them to make threads or no?

OsideRida06 07-22-2012 06:26 PM
This is really awesome. I love this mod.

tonym 07-26-2012 01:49 AM
Best mod I ever used....was getting 50 spambot signups a day....now 0 for last 4 months now

Thanks

Froberg 07-26-2012 02:00 PM
Hi,

I love the mod, it's an absolute Godsend in keeping malicious users out of my site.

I'm running a board in Danish, and it doesn't exactly look good that Spam-O-Matic is the only thing not translated.
I've been up and down the phrase variables, will I really have to modify the xml directly? A casual perusal seems to indicate that if I change the following:

Code:
                <!-- Stats -->

                <plugin active="1" product="glowhostspamomatic" executionorder="50">
                        <title>Stats render</title>

                        <phpcode><![CDATA[

                                        //$vbulletin->

                                        $stats = $vbulletin->db->query_first("SELECT * FROM " . TABLE_PREFIX . "glowhostspamomatic_stats");

                                        //echo '<pre>';
                                        //print_r($vbulletin->stylevars['imgdir_misc']);
                                        //echo '</pre>';

                                        $template_hook[forumhome_wgo_pos2] .= '

                                if ($vbulletin->options['glowhostspamomatic_stat_show_link'] == 1) {
                                        $template_hook[forumhome_wgo_pos2] .= '<a href="https://vborg.vbsupport.ru/showthread.php?t=248042" target="_blank">Spam-O-Matic Statistics</a>';
                                } else {
                                        $template_hook[forumhome_wgo_pos2] .= 'Spam-O-Matic Statistics';
                                }

                                      <div>';

                                if (($vbulletin->options['glowhostspamomatic_stat_show_denied'] == 1) && ($stats['denied'] > 0)) {
                                        $template_hook[forumhome_wgo_pos2] .= '<p>'.$stats['denied'].' Spammer'.(($stats['denied'] > 1)?'s':'').' Denied Registration</p>';
                                }

                                if (($vbulletin->options['glowhostspamomatic_stat_show_banned'] == 1) && ($stats['banned'] > 0)) {

                                }

                                }

                                if (($vbulletin->options['glowhostspamomatic_stat_show_s_akismet'] == 1) && ($stats['s_akismet'] > 0)) {
                                        $template_hook[forumhome_wgo_pos2] .= '<p>'.$stats['s_akismet'].' Spammer'.(($stats['s_akismet'] > 1)?'s':'').' submitted to Akismet</p>';
                                }

                                if (($vbulletin->options['glowhostspamomatic_stat_show_mod'] == 1) && ($stats['moderated'] > 0)) {
                                        $template_hook[forumhome_wgo_pos2] .= '<p>'.$stats['moderated'].' Spammy Post'.(($stats['moderated'] > 1)?'s':'').' Automatically Moderated</p>';
                                }

                                if (($vbulletin->options['glowhostspamomatic_stat_show_removed'] == 1) && ($stats['removed'] > 0)) {
                                        $template_hook[forumhome_wgo_pos2] .= '<p>'.$stats['removed'].' Spammy Post'.(($stats['removed'] > 1)?'s':'').' Removed</p>';
                                }

                                $template_hook[forumhome_wgo_pos2] .= '      </div>
                                  </div>
                                        ';

                                }

                        ]]></phpcode>
                </plugin>

                <!-- Stats END -->
That ought to do the trick? It just seems weird that a lot of the phrases are in the phrase manager, but not these crucial bits?

Cheers!

Great, then I can muck about with it myself. I was too worried about doing it on my live board, and setting up a test just for that seemed slightly.. excessive.

I really think this should be added to the phrase manager though, now it'll just be in Danish on my site, whereas it's always been multi-lingual previously.

I thought you had done it! all I did was change the second instance of Spam-O-Matic Statistics
I did change the first but that didn't work, so then moved down to the next one (the one that worked was in single commas not double ones) and hey presto :)

Has anyone figured out a way to limit Spam-O-Matic Statistics to Moderators / Administrators only?

As a forum administrator I'm interested in these statistics and they not really relavant for my forum users to know.

vb50kgpoo 08-02-2012 10:03 AM
Hi
I installed Spam-o-Matic some time ago and I think it is mostly great (I only get a few real people complaining they were blocked from registration).

BUT I want all successful (those that pass Spam-o-Matic's criteria) registrations to come to me for moderation, as still some spammers get through (though they are easy to spot - so, I just need to approve them first). I do not want to turn Spam-o-Matic off and moderate every registration, as Spam-o-Matic does a great job of blocking 99% of spammers.

Is there a way?
