That was for Kiros72.

Too bad these good spam detectors are falling apart with age. I wish
someone could step in and pick up the slack. We always need the
best of spam security with VB at all times. Even if it works on newer
versions, mods should always be updated for secuirty reasons.

It seemed to install ok on v4.0.6, I have yet to test it on anyone yet :)

I tried it on myself since I would have the same IP using another username,
it seemed just to ignore the signup.

I installed this on V3.7.0 and 2 of my users got this error trying to login.

Warning: require_once([path]/madp/detection.php) [function.require-once]: failed to open stream: No such file or directory in [path]/includes/functions_login.php(185) : eval()'d code on line 3

Fatal error: require_once() [function.require]: Failed opening required '/home/xxxxx/public_html/forum/madp/detection.php' (include_path='.:/usr/lib/php:/usr/local/lib/php') in /home/xxxxx/public_html/forum/includes/functions_login.php(185) : eval()'d code on line 3

Any ideas why?:) It's disabled for now.

Any plans for vB4? I could really use it again.

Thanks!

Nobody know?:(

same problem here, is there any way to use search for member on posted forum ?!

I had the AE detector but neede something that moved users to the banned group.
This is great, I will install this one, thank you!

Just install it like you installed it on vB3. It should work just fine.

Those errors occur when you do not have the FILES uploaded correctly. Re-read the ReaMe file and follow the instructions. Like I have explained before, the files contained in the /madp/ directory should be uploaded to *forum root*/madp/ so that vBulletin can call the files correctly.

I have not counted on searching for the posts. An old friend has lent me a directory to test and work on this modification, so hopefully I'll be able to do some debugging soon. However, the computer containing my work for version 2.0 is on another machine in my household, which does not have a power supply at the moment. So while my buddy takes care of a few things on his server, I'll be trying to find a new power supply.

Just be patient, and I'll see what I can do. Until then, I recommend keeping the reports in a separate forum. Thanks :)

Right now I am sure 2 users are using the forum and it hasn't picked them up so I banned one but the other is still using the forum and still hasn't notified me. I am using 3.8.5.

I am running this on a big board and its certainly a live saver. We have 1250 report threads so far. (5-10 a day) So a big thanks to the coder!

We frequently do encounter a bug/error though, as it does not correctly identify if any of the multiple accounts are banned accounts.
Most reports state:

Primary Banned Usergroup: 8 (Found)

While none of the accounts are banned (8)

It would really help, if this issue would be solved, because it would allow us to use the built in functions to automatize part of the process. Making the system ban automatic while this issue is unresolved, would result in banning hundreds of innocent members.


I'd like to request three enhancements:

1. post new reports relating to the same user, to the existing thread.
2. if a report relates to a user that is in the banned group, put 'BANNED USER RETURNING:' in the thread title. This makes it easy for staff to identify the urgent cases.
3. when the alert is based upon IP, but not cookie, then its uncertain if it relates to the same user. This can be solved by checking if the IP is dynamic or static and comparing similarities in usernames, Date of birth, email domain, profile fields, Join Date & Last Post & Last Activity. Normally staff will do this by hand, which is quite a lot of work when you are getting reports in daily. All this can be done automatically, which would be a huge relieve on workload.

Also would like to remind to these suggestions, as they are buried in this thread:
