Thanks :)

wow great work :) Getting tired of spam post

What if I want to grant a link without it being reported, only to select users/posts? How would I go about this?

I don't understand the question could you describe what you want to do in more detail please?

Jimbo -

Great product! I have just a few questions:

1. I have it set to post to a spam thread if spam is detected, and to hide the spam post from view. Now say I find it is not spam. Is there a way to allow it to be shown (un-flagged as spam)?

2. When a spam post is hidden from view - you can still see the thread. Is that the way it is supposed to work? For example: SPammer starts new thread with his message, it is flagged as spam - so the message is hidden, but you can still see the thread link in the forum.

3. Is there a way to make your list catch a regex item more then once. For example: "http://" is in a message 20 times (obvious spam post) but the regex only caught the first http:// - so it only recieves 5 points. I want it to have 100 points (5x20).

I think that is all of my questions so far. This is exactly what I needed! Great Work!

Hi SA.

The post is flagged as "unmoderated" this means that administrators/moderators can see it but regular registered users on the forum can't. The way you've described it is exactly as it should work.

Using the normal vBulletin interface you should be able to "manage" the moderated thread (there are the "AJAX" functions too). Have a look in the vBulletin manual and moderation is explained in there :)



Interesting one. I can see exactly why you'd want to use this one but it's not something that the software can do at the moment. I'll give it some further thought :)

Hi there, have looked into the code for a moment. Try using the preg_match_all() function to get more than one hit for a regular expression. You will get a multi-dimensional array then with all found matches :)

Sure - I'd thought about that. Then multiply count($matches) with the weighting for that rule.

I'm wondering if there are any cases where you wouldn't want to consider multiple occurences of the same pattern. (i.e. have the "all" test configurable).

I am sorry I just could not understand what this hack will do.

I have some members who use my forum to promote their websites... so can this plugin detect the posts like www.sitename.com type of lines and remove them?

It's less to stop member but more to stop people who come in and register on the forum just to post advertising on there. I think some use software so that they can put similar posts on hundreds of forums.

THis hack will identify the spam posts using pattern matches then prevent regular users from seeing the posts on the forum. As a moderator or admin you will still be able to see the posts on the forum, if any of the posts are in fact geniuine posts then you can make them visible to the forum users easily using built in vBulletin moderation commands.
