Thanks for this spectacular mod. You have saved me hours of work and done me a solid.

Not sure if anyone has had the following occur or if investigation is in progress:

Just installed the v1.2.8 file (v.1.2.7 on the product) and a little later looked in the log file.

I found that the first few log records were blocked - no probs, looked good.

Then I noticed the following 23 records (created every few seconds) were almost the same. They had the same i/p and email addy but were all 'Passed StopForumSpam ...' and 'is_blocked = 0'.

I manually banned the i/p and deleted the user. Is something amiss or should this happen? I don't really want loads of repeating log records.

As yet no further log records have been created.

If I can provide further details then let me know.

Please can someone advise.

I've not seem that problem and I'm getting around 100 registration attempts per day.

It sure is strange and not something that I would expect should happen.

I've had one further log record since and that appears to be fine ('is_blocked = 1').

Lee brought something important to my attention regarding SFS:
http://www.vbulletin.com/forum/showt...=1#post2104854
SFS is very successful at blocking spam bots from registrations. But that causes another issue. These spammer registration scripts can try to register again in millions of a second. They keep banging on the door. Hitting the server many times and causing high server loads. This is also why SFS logs show so many blocked spammer accounts.

So while SFS resolves the spam problem it relocates the problem to server load.

One solution could be to analyzing the http fingerprint of blocked spammers and blocking them from the site. Or even adding a temporary IP block for those IPs.

Any updates on a fix for this mod blocking RSS feeds? Is there a way we can exclude a particular user id from getting their threads moderated maybe?
