thanks for a great mod..

lets hope this works for me

This is an awersome mod. Thanks a lot :)

Im messed up somewhere. I have it enabled for ip and emails addresses, and disabled for usernames. I have it so its supposed to log and block registration if either match the data. Query connection timeout is set to allow registration.

To test this after installing I tried signing up with a listed spammer information on the stopforumspam site. It logged that the database match the entry but it still allowed registration due to policy it says. Another weird thing is that i have email verification on and after signing up it said I need to verify my email. This should have put me in the "Users awaiting email validation" group. However it did not. With no email validation I was able to take the spam account and post on my forum with no email error messages. The user I made was directly promoted to a regular user but I have no such promotion set up. Some real issues for me right now.. Also I have no language reference to frontend erorr text. What is going on? I uploaded all the files in the package for 3.8.x and also uploaded the product xml file. Any ideas for me to check into?

The reason query connection timeout still allows registration is in case stopforumspam goes down I want people to still be able to sign up.. Just now double checked something else too.. SQL did not execute on product import.. Tried it manually and it returned sql syntax errors.

Does every field that you enable (username, ip, email) have to match before registration is denied? I tried making test accounts from users in the database at stopforum spam and registration is still being allowed. The only difference is my ip is different. I have all 3 enabled. I am unable to create a denied account.

No, just one of the fields. Its not so much as a "match these fields", its more of a "match any of these fields".

It sounds like you need to change to option to Block instead of the allow

deleted, my bad

Best mod ever... moderators can now focus with other forum related matters. Spambot activity has gone down to almost zero ever since I installed this mod on my forum.

Thanks so much!

Terrific hack, thanks!

Same error message here on 3.8.4. No other mods have failed in this manner and can't see anything out of the ordinary.

I'm getting hammered with spam by PM just now, where do I start in finding out why this won't install?

Thanks :)
