As mentioned several times recently the function you are referring to is no longer supported and will be removed in v2.

The idea is to report spammers who have posted actual spam, not arbitrary users who may or may not be guilty of being a spammer.

Is there any chance that you would add Bad behavior integration to this in the near future?

Now that recaptha is cracked, spam-o-matic is vital spam protection.
Bad behavior would block spam bots and content scrapers from the site.

It's possible, send me the link so I can learn more about it.

Will get the the information. Thanks.

I cant send you any PMs it says your box is full, but this is what I wrote to you:

This seems like a good thought. I will put it on the list for possible inclusions into version 3.0. Depending on the number of user requests it may be bumped higher on the priority list. This seems like it would need extensive testing because even blocking one legit user can be a bad thing for a forum owner. What concerns me is the delisting process which they say takes about 5 minutes.

Most forum posters who take the time to post, are not going to take 5 mins to delist and then time again to re-post I fear.

I will follow Bad Behavior and do some more research on it though as its an interesting solution.

Thanks. I deleted some PMs. Would be an interesting addition.

Thank you! 8) This put a hard stop to an hard and fast Russian spam attack.

When you from admincp choose to ban a user and you submit, it should open the ban window.. it does in fact do that, but if you changed the "name" of your modcp then it leads to 404. You might want to make sure it's parsing the $vbulletin->config['Misc']['modcpdir'] instead of just "modcp" :)

People who have installed this mod - have you found that it helped cut out the spammers registering on your site?

I cant speak for everyone else, but I am biased.

For kicks, I turned off human verification completely in vBulletin options, and this is the stats from today.

Spam-O-Matic Statistics:
165 Spammers Denied Registration

4 got through the filter.

Turning human verification on should make those 4 an even lower number.
