"Sign up

:( Can anyone provide an API key for them?

Thank you

Is the key not registered to the domain?

djbaxter 12-01-2012 06:02 PM

It's supposed to be. I don't think you can just use someone else's API. And I'm not sure SFS would approve of posting it like that...

Is anyone willing to answer my question about why spam is still getting through and being posted? This thing doesn't seem to be working. Is it not compatible with the latest version of vbulletins or something? What's the deal?

Snowhog 12-02-2012 05:38 PM

How do I remove the Affiliate information? I believe that the affiliate program is no longer going on. If it is, the hyperlinks are invalid.

It's in your settings to turn this off...

Snowhog 12-02-2012 06:19 PM

No, there are no settings in AdminCP > Settings > Options > GlowHost - Spam-O-Matic that control the hyperlink "Join the GlowHost Affiliate Program and earn $125 per sign up." that appears in the screen shot. That, and as I said/asked, the affiliate program is defunct (?), so why advertise what isn't available?

Added:

Okay, AdminCP > Styles & Templates > Search in Templates > Search for Text: glowhost finds glowhostspamomatic_bsc which contains the code controlling the content of the image in the screen shot. I can edit this file to remove the hyperlink.

Maybe this is what, when I installed SOM today, then went to SFS to get a API Key I was met with a message: "API Keys not available for the time being due to abuse." Swell, just swell.

any api key from any site can be used on any other site. They just give out different ones for each site so spammers can be tracked but a api key can be used on as many sites as you want even if you don't own the key

Snowhog 12-02-2012 07:41 PM

Yes, and that option is set to Disabled. Note the comment for this option:

Enabling this will add a link to in the footer of your forum.
That isn't the same thing that as what is showing in the image I posted. To eliminate the Affiliate hyperlink, you have to comment/remove it from the glowhostspamomatic_bsc template.

I asked Pedigree on SFS about this, and he said it's okay.

Mate then I dunno, I don't have that issue.

Did you enter a key in the Affiliate System: Affiliate ID

You can't get an affiliate key. The hyperlink url takes you to a non-existent site. I'd think that Spam-O-Matic would take care of this, as it's in their code for this MOD.

Cynicz 12-03-2012 07:35 PM

Possible to have auto-moderation issue immediate bans (along with stopping the post) instead of just putting posts into moderation/preventing posts?

We seen a large increase in the last 2-3 weeks, mostly spammers from Vietnam. For the first 1.5 years we had spam-o-matic installed, there were about 500 blocked registrations. In the last 3 weeks, that increased to almost 4000.

Chadi 12-05-2012 01:11 AM

I'm getting hammered daily with dozens of spam registered with .vn emails and vn IP addresses. This is odd because I get no forum spam or other registration spam except VN which starts about 2-3 weeks ago.

It came to a point where I had to block all VN IP addresses globally at my firewall, now they're using some proxy IPs instead.

They register with scrambled names like "hkjkld16sd" and put other scrambled words in every profile field like "ksjcskcjk".

I also have registrations moderated first.

These are bots.

Install this add-on: Spammers suck!

Elenna 12-08-2012 05:42 PM

I am not sure if anyone else has had this issue (and we aren't 100% sure that it is this mod), but we think the auto-moderation option was crashing IE9 for a few of our users, or slowing down posting/editing times considerably.

I've disabled that option and am waiting to hear back; if we get confirmation that things are working as expected, I'll report back on the off-chance that it is this mod and it might help someone else!

vbuserita 12-08-2012 09:27 PM

Works like a charm :D

hi guys whenever someone signs up to my site they get this

"Warning: require_once(includes/functions_ghsom.php) [function.require-once]: failed to open stream: No such file or directory in [path]/register.php(338) : eval()'d code on line 10

Fatal error: require_once() [function.require]: Failed opening required 'includes/functions_ghsom.php' (include_path='.:/usr/lib/php:/usr/local/lib/php') in /home/worldofg/public_html/forums/register.php(338) : eval()'d code on line 10"

what do i do its just started after i put spamomatic

please help asap

kylek 12-11-2012 12:02 AM

roosteres566,

I replied in your other thread. Make sure when you uploaded spamomatic that all files were uploaded. That error is saying that the functions_ghsom.php file is not in your includes directory. You can find the file in the spamomatic's download folder - sitting in the includes folder.

Thank you. worked

ryansmith 12-11-2012 09:27 AM

It appears this mod allows any Moderator to access the Spam-o-Matic inline features. Is there some way to change the permissions on this? I want my admins and Super Mods to be able to use this feature, but I do not want regular moderators using it. Some of our moderators only moderate one or two sections of our large forum and I don't like the idea of giving them full control over being able to just delete/ban any user at will.

Is there some setting or switch I'm missing that will allow me to pick and choose which usergroups or mods can use Spam-o-Matic?

ryansmith 12-12-2012 01:35 AM

Also, I am having an issue with a SuperMod being moved into moderation queue. I have a newbies usergroup, all newbies go there until they have 10 posts, and I have the setting set to ignore anyone who includes URLs or links after they get 10 posts.

Still, every time this Super Mod posts a thread with multiple URLs or IMG BB code, her post is moved into the moderation queue. She has way more than 10 posts. Is this something going on in Spam-O-Matic or is there another vBulletin setting that could be causing it? I have no other spam/moderation add-ons installed and I have vB's native spam management system disabled.
