thanks!

is it posible to add the mail function found here to this hack

https://vborg.vbsupport.ru/showpost....2&postcount=10

I have set my "Alert forum" to send an email incase of a new thread or post but it is not working with "spam threads/posts alerts"

Thanks

Installed.... :up:

Tested and working great ... :)

Question: Why is it required to enter both a UserID and Username for that same ID in the AdminCP options for this mod? Is it just a check to make sure they match, or can a different Username be associated with the UserID one enters?

Thanks

I love it when a plan comes together :D

The way the data is stored in the database (and that you add a new thread/post to the system) both the id and name are stored (instead of looking it up from the user table).

I could add something to the code to derive the username so you'd only need to specify the user id but I was feeling lazy and figured it's not too much extra effort to specify it that once in the configuration settings :)

Understood... :)

Thanks.....

Another question: I set the post count to 3 since most spammers on our forums jump right in and make their first (and only) post a piece of spam. When your mod places the spam in moderation, does it count that as a post to the user record? I ask because I wonder if I could reduce the count to one (1) and therefore even if a spammer decided to bang out several quick spams in a row, he'd still be stuck at a valid post count of one (1) and therefore he'd never get out of moderation. Does that make sense?

It does, just! :)

Only visible posts count towards the post count so the posts moderated by spambuster will not increase the spammers posts count.

Roger that .... :up:

installed and was hoping i finally will get rid of lots of spammers. But no such luck for me. When i try to post a test spam post nothing happens. The post isn't hidden and its not posted in my moderator forum either.

trigger level. tested everything from 1 up to 10
post count. 5
enable post reporting. yes
correct forum id. yes
correct user id and name. yes
remove spam threads/posts. yes

Shouldn't those settings find the spam posts and post a notice in my mod forum ?

does your screen resemble this?
obviously the user id and forum # would be based off your mod forum #.
it's working on my vb3.68 patch 2

edit. It started to work after a while ??? strange thing.

On another note. Would it be possible to add a user group setting to this spam buster so it doesn't check for spam on certain groups ?
