see a few posts above, where Glowhost explains the "lack" of logs.

basically its spammers hit the vB registration first and usually fail there, so no longer making unnecessary queries to the list sites. Therefore no logs. Spammers have to get by the registration system first, then they're queried.
At least thats how I understood the description.

Hey dprice,

I just checked there and sadly nope no logs there either :(

I'm guessing :P that something isnt working right


Mark,

Turn off Human Verification, and the logging will actually come.

Glowhost explained whats going on in the new vers 2.0.2 in a few posts above this one. Recommend they update the file description and the readme since everyone using ver 1 was used to reading an azzton of logs.

This script works exactly as advertised.


Thank you glowhost for sharing this mod and providing updates/feedback to the community.


I did have one issue where someone, that I know, tried to register for the forums and their IP was tagged and rejected?

Spam-O-Matic Tagged ip - 192.251.125.85 - Spammer Found and rejected.

What database houses this ip? Is it SFS?

Hi everyone,

I've just installed this awesome looking mod but have run into an immediate problem. For some reason it breaks my thread reply counts and stops new threads showing up in the new posts feature. I didn't see any mention of this anywhere else, can anyone provide any insight into this?

Thanks!

Thanks again for the update. You're the man! I love your plugin because it saved me alot of hours my life time.. :D

Just a suggestion, I'm looking forward to have an option to exclude forum ID from akisment/auto moderation checking. The reason for I mention it here because I run a large forum where I have a section where people can advertise for their websites in it and akismet sends all those threads to moderation.. I will only protect other forums from posting links which is not possible. :-)

Thanks for listning to me. :p

This mod doesn't affect post counts, so I am guessing there is a conflict with some other mod that you are using. Try disabling them all besides SOM and then enable them one by one until you find the one with the conflict.

I've added your request to the list for suggested enhancements for a future release.

In your screen shot, are you referring to the log entry that says "Sent to vBulletin Registration System" or something else?

onehost 02-12-2011 12:47 AM

I am starting to wonder how reliable spam-o-matic really is...I wanted to check
out some member issues, so i signed up on my own forum as a new member.

Immediately, I was denied, and accused of being a spammer...
(yes, on my own damn forum)

I wonder how many legit members are being denied also? After all, if you
were denied on a forum, would you actually take the time to email admin?
or would you just be on your way to someplace else?
